Bellator MMA featherweight champion, Cris Cyborg has confirmed she is ready to coach former undisputed bantamweight titleholder, Holly Holm for her upcoming UFC 300 combat with former PFL champion, Kayla Harrison in April – rekindling her rivalry with the Ohio native.
Cyborg, a former undisputed UFC featherweight queen, has been sidelined since she featured at Bellator 300 again in November, efficiently defending her featherweight crown in a one-sided first spherical knockout win over fellow Octagon veteran, Cat Zingano.
And struggling to guide a combat with both the PFL or Bellator because the Peter Murray-led promotion purchased out the latter, Cyborg has introduced plans to make one other boxing look in her time away from combined martial arts.
Cris Cyborg to coach Holly Holm for combat with Kayla Harrison
Moreover, staking her claim for a potential UFC comeback in a rematch with Brazilian compatriot, Amanda Nunes in April, Cyborg revealed she is ready to journey to Albuquerque to coach Holm for her UFC 300 conflict in opposition to Harrison later this quarter.
“I have already got a date to go to Albuquerque – I’m very excited,” Cris Cyborg informed James Lynch throughout a current interview. “I talked to the group, talked to Holly (Holm) – we’ve been learning Kayla (Harrison) for a short while already. I’ve been coaching for her already.”
“I’m a brilliant fan of Holly Holm,” Cris Cyborg continued. “I believe she’s a legend. She’s a giant instance to feminine fighters. [I’ll] be part of her camp, and I believe she’s going to return with an important victory. It’s going to be good.”
Herself preventing Holm again in 2017, Cyborg headlined UFC 219 in opposition to the boxing Corridor of Famer, touchdown a unanimous resolution win to efficiently defend her undisputed featherweight championship.
Remaining sceptical of Harrison’s potential to efficiently make the bantamweight restrict for her UFC 300 debut contained in the Octagon, Holm claimed she would possible skirt a combat with the two-time Olympic gold medalist if she failed to successfully tip the scales.
