As reported earlier, Cris “Cyborg” Justino stated she wants a fight with UFC bantamweight champ Holly Holm in the near future. Holm’s coach, Mike Winkeljohn has fired back on behalf of the Holm camp. Here’s what he had to say in a recent interview with talkingbrawlsmma.com:
“Cris ‘Cyborg’ is just incredible with her strength and with what she can so”, he said. “I don’t know if she can make the weight at 135 pounds yet. She’s got a lot of holes in her game, a lot of craziness. That girl is so strong, so we’d have to be worried about it. But Holly would fight her in a heartbeat.”
“I’ll tell you what: Holly has never turned down a fight before in her life,” said Winkeljohn. “It won’t be on Holly’s terms if she turns down a fight, unless she retires. Holly will fight anybody, anywhere. She’s that tough, mentally. She believes in herself and what she can do.”
The UFC is working on a rematch between Holm and Ronda Rousey for sometime in 2016.
