While a new UFC women’s featherweight champion is crowned and in waiting, Holly Holm has options in front of her for two titles. She could be eyeing a rematch with Valentina Shevchenko to see who will challenge Amanda Nunes yet again for the bantamweight title, since the rumors are Raquel Pennington will get the next shot. If the a title is the goal, Holm may have a quicker path at featherweight. She’s willing to fight Cris Cyborg to make that happen, the UFC just has to make it worth her while according to Coach Winkeljohn on Submission Radio<\/a>.<\/p>\n

\u201c<\/strong>Holly [Holm] will take [the fight with Cyborg] if they make the right offer, if they will do that. I mean, right now we\u2019re looking at, do we fight Amanda Nunes for the title? They really want to give that to Raquel Pennington, I think they\u2019re saying. Holly\u2019s not one to sit on the shelf, she wants the world title. She really wanted to get back at Shevchenko, so I know she was hoping Shevchenko would win the title, but this is where we\u2019re sitting right now and Cris Cyborg is out there and Holly I think wants to knock off another legend. She\u2019ll step up and do it again, so it all comes down to money and what the UFC\u2019s willing to cough up to have Holly fight her.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

\u201cHolly\u2019s a big draw, everybody wants to see Holly. They know she had the ability to beat Ronda, she steps up for the big fights, she\u2019s back and she\u2019s the best thing the UFC has in the women\u2019s division. Holly has more power I believe and more marketability then every woman in the UFC put together and I think Cris [Cyborg] sees that. She thinks she can beat her and she thinks she\u2019ll get the PPV numbers and make some money. And I don\u2019t blame her. […] We have not had an official offer, so we\u2019re waiting for an official offer that\u2019s good. There has not been an official offer, so I know \u2013 this is quite funny, the champion of the world is calling out Holly Holm. Don\u2019t usually the challengers call out the champions? That\u2019s a curiosity in itself.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
