After months of being in limbo, UFC womens featherweightCristiane Cyborg Justino(17-1 1 NC, 2-0 UFC) finally has an opponent. MMA Today has learned that former Invicta FC and Strikeforce champion will be taking on current Invicta FC Featherweight Champion, Megan Anderson (8-2, 0-0 UFC), on July 29th at UFC 214 in Anaheim, California. For the past few months, Cyborg had made it apparent that she wasnt even sure that she would be getting on a card anytime soon. Likewise,Anderson had been calling for the fight all the while, but also had expressed the lack of progress innegotiations. After a few comments of reassurance in the media from UFC President Dana White, it appears that everything worked out well for all parties involved.

Cyborg is 2-0 in the UFC since joining the promotion a little over a year and a half ago, with TKO victories over Leslie Smith and Lina Lansberg. Contributing to her 9-month layoff is a USADA suspension that was eventually turned into a TUE. On the other hand, Anderson is coming off a TKO win over then-champion Charmaine Tweet. The bout between the two combatants is expected to be the co-main event of UFC 214, with the main event being the long-awaited grudge match between UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Daniel Cormier and former UFC Light Heavyweight Champion Jon Bones Jones.
