The Brazilian Chris Cyborg accepted the challenge made by Felicia spencer suggesting a clash between the two. The Canadian revealed in an interview after her victory at UFC Rochester, last Saturday (18), her desire to face the former Invicta FC and Ultimate champion. Cyborg hasn't fought since losing the featherweight belt (up to 65,7kg) to her compatriot Amanda nunes, at UFC 232.

“July 27th, in Edmonton, Canada. I only had one UFC fight in 15 months. Challenge accepted”, Cyborg posted on his official Twitter account.
The event mentioned for Cris will have as its main fight the featherweight belt dispute between Max Holloway e Frankie Edgar, representing UFC 240.
Felicia spencer has gained great notoriety as a martial artist since she debuted her career in 2015. The athlete has never been defeated in a professional fight. In her last fight, she made her Ultimate debut to face another former Invicta FC champion: Megan anderson.
The Canadian took no notice of her opponent and achieved a beautiful victory after just under four minutes of combat, when she landed a submission on her opponent.
When challenging Cyborg, the athlete, if the fight is confirmed, will face an athlete of another level. Even though she lost to Amanda in her last match, the Brazilian is still highly respected in MMA. Before the fight against her compatriot, Cris had not suffered a setback in almost 14 years.
Victory, however, in addition to being an obsession, is an obligation for the Brazilian, if she still wants a rematch against the 'Lione'. Nunes has already revealed that he intends to make just two more appearances for Ultimate; one of them would be a rematch against Cyborg. However, it is essential that Curitiba is ranked for this.
At 28 years old, Felicia has a record of seven fights and remains undefeated in her career as an MMA athlete.
Cris, in turn, at 33 years old, has 23 fights with 20 victories, two defeats and one fight without result (Cyborg tested positive in an anti-doping test after the clash against Hiroko yamanaka, in 2011).
