Megan Anderson calls for Cris Cyborg title-fight rebooking after UFC 222

LAS VEGAS Megan Anderson wants her crack at the champion after another dominant display from UFC women’s featherweight titleholderCris Cyborg at UFC 222.Cyborg (20-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) extended her lengthy unbeaten streak on Saturday when she defeated Yana Kunitskaya (10-4 MMA, 0-1 UFC) by dominant first-round TKO in UFC 222’s pay-per-view main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.Although UFC officials seems keen on booking Cyborg against women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes (15-4 MMA, 8-1 UFC) next, the Brazilian powerhouse can aways use more challengers, and Anderson (9-2 MMA, 0-0 UFC), a former 145-pound titleholder under the Invicta FC banner, has been pushing for the fight for several years.

In fact, Anderson was briefly scheduled to fight Cyborg at UFC 214 in July, but she was forced to withdraw due to an undisclosed personal issue. She could soon be ready to go, though, and the Australian called out Cyborg after UFC 222 (via Twitter):Anderson hasn’t fought since Invicta FC 21 in January 2017. She earned a second-round TKO win over Charmaine Tweet at the event, which marked her fourth consecutive victory. The 28-year-old has repeatedly said she thinks she has what it takes to dethrone Cyborg, and she said it’s time for Cyborg to fight someone who is naturally suited for the featherweight division (via Twitter):For complete coverage of UFC 222, check out the UFC Events section of the site.
