Former bantamweight champion Holly Holm says that shed be open to fighting UFC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg Justino but she has a condition. Holm says she will face Justino, but only after a full training camp. <\/p>\n
This is me publicly saying, Yes, I am open to the fight at 145 [pounds],' Holm said to ESPN. [But] Im not going to take a fight at 135 pounds one month, and then the next month its, Oh hey, do you want to fight Cyborg at 145? This is me going outside of my weight class and thats OK. Im willing to take the fight. I just want to have a full training camp. <\/p>\n
Holm has already made one appearance in the 145-pound division when she faced Germaine de Randamie for the interim featherweight title. She was defeated via controversial decision and then returned to the bantamweight division. De Randamie then refused to fight Cyborg, who the featherweight division was created for, and was stripped of her title. Cyborg went on to face Invicta bantamweight champion Tonya Evinger who she defeated via a third-round TKO. <\/p>\n
Even though Holm says she will fight the champion, there are some negotiations she says she would make before taking a fight with the woman many call the greatest striker of all time. <\/p>\n
I truly feel that is one of, if not the biggest, female fights they can promote, Holm said. Im not in it for the priority of money, but I value myself. My biggest passion is about the fight itself, but this is my career and anybody looking out for their career is looking at the facts. This is a huge fight and Im sure everybody around it, the promotion, is going to make money. So, I would expect more money. <\/p>\n
Justino has been vocal via her social media platforms that a fight with Holm is the next logical step, so well see if this battle ever does come to fruition in the near future. <\/p>\n
