Tonya Evinger realizes the importance of her title bout with Cris Cyborg. <\/p>\n
This Saturday night (July 29), Evinger will battle Cyborg for the vacant Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) womens featherweight title. Itll be Evingers UFC debut and Cyborgs first title shot in the promotion. <\/p>\n
The action takes place inside the Honda Center in Anaheim, California and will be part of UFC 214s main card. Megan Anderson was expected to meet Cyborg for the gold, but personal issues put a halt to those plans. <\/p>\n
During a recent media call, Triple Threat talked about her opponent being the heavy favorite: <\/p>\n
I think Im the underdog every time, so its just one of the roles I play. I seem to get the fans that dont think Im as good a fighter as I am. I think that were both just two dominating champions. I think this is a super fight and its a fight that couldve happened a long time ago. Its just definitely one to watch. <\/p>\n
When asked about openings she has seen watching tape of Cyborgs fights, Evinger said she isnt concerned with that. <\/p>\n
I dont go into any fight thinking my opponent has any weakness. I just go in there to put my style out there and be offensive myself. <\/p>\n
