It appears the UFC is ready to move forward with the women’s featherweight division.
Long considered the best 145-pound fighter on the planet, Cris “Cyborg” Justino is expected to meet current Invicta FC featherweight champion Megan Anderson at UFC 214 in Anaheim on July 29.
Sources close to the matchup confirmed the fight is in the works when speaking to FOX Sports late Friday following an initial report from MMAFighting.com.
UFC officials have not announced the matchup as of yet.
If the fight becomes official, it would be the second ever women’s featherweight fight in the UFC after Germaine de Randamie was crowned champion back in February with a very close decision win over Holly Holm.
