Unlike Ronda Rousey, Holm is 'open' to fighting Cyborg at 145

There's a sense of something different about Holly Holm as UFC champion, when compared to her predecessor. And that difference is made abundantly clear in one place in particular: A potential fight with Cris Cyborg.

It wasn't exactly hanging over Ronda Rousey's head, during her time with the UFC women's bantamweight title. After all, she was already very much a proven talent and the A-side of any fight available, but a potential fight with Invicta featherweight champion Cris Cybord definitely had a looming quality to it. It was the bout that hardcore fans wanted more than any other fight she could line up, even Floyd Mayweather.
