Cris Cyborg wants to fight at UFC 300

Dana White made waves on social media after announcing the signing of the former two-time Olympic gold medalist judoka, Kayla Harrison. The 16-1 fighter is set to make her debut at UFC 300 against the veteran and former champion Holly Holm. The April card is shaping up to be an exciting one for the fight fans as a former UFC fighter expressed an interest in coming back.

Former UFC and current Bellator featherweight champion Cris Cyborg seems to have drawn inspiration from Kayla Harrison and sent a request to Dana White. The 38-year-old mentioned that she wanted to come back at UFC 300 in April and reignite her rivalry with Amanda Nunes in a rematch. Meanwhile, we are waiting for a response from the former UFC double champion and Dana White about what they think about Cyborg’s proposal.

Is Stipe Miocic avoiding Tom Aspinall?

After becoming the interim heavyweight champion at UFC 295, Tom Aspinall was probably in line to fight Jon Jones. However, in the wake of that not being a possibility, the British fighter expressed his willingness to fight former two-time heavyweight champion Stipe Miocic. Aspinall even revealed that he even had an offer for that fight from the UFC.

“While we are talking about [Stipe Miocic], my manager was contacted by the UFC asking if I’d like to fight him on Apr 13th. I, of course, accepted,” tweeted Tom Aspinall. He further went on to insinuate that Stipe Miocic was trying to avoid him. The UFC fighter-cum-firefighter wanted to face only Jon Jones. In the end, Aspinall came to terms with the situation and shared a final tweet regarding that matter.
