Cris Cyborg has commented on a potential fight against Cat Zingano. The former UFC women's featherweight champion, who moved to Bellator MMA in 2020, responded to a Twitter post hinting towards a possible match-up between her and Cat Zingano.

Cyborg, who's the reigning Bellator women's featherweight champion, also labeled Zingano as 'undefeated at featherweight'. When Cyborg was reminded of Zingano's loss to Megan Anderson at UFC 232, she asserted that the bout should have been a no-contest due to the eye injury Zingano suffered in the fight.

She tweeted:

"Undefeated at Featherweight and the last woman to finish Nunes this is a tough challenge against one of the all time GOATs of WMMA.@BellatorMMA"

@GrimmjowAH @BellatorMMA Should have been a NC

Cat Zingano defeated current UFC women's bantamweight and featherweight champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 178. 'Alpha' is the only woman to finish 'The Lioness' inside the octagon. She holds an impressive resume, defeating the likes of Miesha Tate, Raquel Pennington and Marion Reneau.
