Cat Zingano Open To Holly Holm, Says 'Cyborg Is The Ultimate Goal'

Recently, it was announced that now-former women's featherweight champ Germaine de Randamie would be stripped of her title due to refusal to fight. Cris 'Cyborg' Justino will now face Megan Anderson at UFC 214 for the vacant strap.

Following that news, Cyborg told MMAuno.comshe would like the UFC to book Zingano vs. former UFC bantamweight champ Holly Holm to determine the next contender at 145.

Zingano, for her part, is down.

"I'm seeing awesome progress on the health issues that I've been working on, with the support of the UFC," Zingano told FloCombat. "Holm is a good fight for me, my coaches are excited to hear of that possibility.

"I'm interested, and when the time is right I'd be happy to go toe to toe with her. We need to build up this 145 [pound]division, I think there's all the talent in the world available, we just need to get organized and put on some good fights."

Zingano previously excelled at 135 inside the UFC Octagon, working her way to a title shot against then-champion Ronda Rousey at UFC 184. While she would drop that contest via submission--and her next to Julianna Pena at UFC 200 via decision--she's not ruling out the possibility of bouncing between bantamand featherweight.

Plus, there's a certain someonelingering at 145 that she can't wait to tackle head on.

"I hope to be able to bounce back and fourth between feather and bantam until more has been established," Zingano said. "Cyborg is the ultimate goal at this point, should she win the belt. Until then I'm just working hard (and smart) and waiting for my body to tell me it's time to go to war."
