Bellator women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg says she is interested in facing Cat Zingano next, saying it would be a “great fight.”<\/p>\n

Cyborg is coming off of a quick first-round KO win over Sinead Kavanagh at Bellator 271<\/a>. For Cyborg, she is currently riding a five-fight win streak including a four-fight winning streak since she joined Bellator with four wins coming by way of knockout. Cyborg has looked absolutely phenomenal so far in Bellator and she is excited to get back out there and perform. Following her quick win over Kavanagh, Cyborg is now looking ahead at who she could potentially be facing next, and Zingano seems to be the ideal opponent for her.<\/p>\n

Speaking to MMAjunkie.com<\/a> in a recent interview, Cyborg admitted that a matchup against the former UFC star Zingano seems to make a lot of sense for them both next.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t pick who I want to fight, but you threw that and if it happens, it happens,\u201d Cyborg said. \u201cCat Zingano is a great fight. The girl beat Amanda Nunes, the last one to beat Amanda Nunes, and she\u2019s undefeated in Bellator, and I\u2019m happy to have the opportunity to fight her.\u201d<\/p>\n

Although Cyborg just fought Kavanagh, she took no damage in that fight and says she is ready to step back into the cage soon in order to take a quick-turnaround type of fight.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s nice when I have a quick turnaround,\u201d Cyborg said. \u201cJust rest a little bit then back to training again. It\u2019s very nice, it\u2019s a long camp, but I train everyday. So if I train everyday, it\u2019s not just training for the camp. I train everyday, so when it\u2019s close to the fight, I just make a plan on how the fight is gonna work, the game plan of the fight.\u201d<\/p>\n
