“If she really wants to fight me, she knows where I am and where to find me. She can go to Scott Coker (president of Bellator) and ask for the fight to actually happen. I didn't want to say anything yet so as not to spoil the moment of victory, but if someone wants to fight me, I'm ready to make it happen”, replied Cyborg.
