Last night UFC President Dana White told ESPN's Brett Okamoto that Cris Cyborg vs Felicia Spencer has been added to UFC 240 July 27 at the Rogers Arena in Edmonton. This will be the co-main event. I have been asked why this is not for an interim Featherweight title. Easy answer confirmed by Cyborg's Twitter. This is the final fight of her UFC contract. She hired Audie Attar to negotiate a new contract. But this announcement tells me they weren't able to come to terms. Her whole UFC run was built on beating up Bantamweights. When UFC Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes moved up to Featherweight and KOd Cyborg in round one, Cyborg's aura of invincibility is gone. Even her coach Jason Perillo admitted that she fought like an idiot. So why would the UFC pay her like that loss didn't happen? So I'm sure Cyborg wants more than the UFC thinks she's worth. She could get some of that aura back with a win over Felicia. Wasn't Felicia the underdog in her fight against Megan Anderson? How did that go? I expect the same idiots to underestimate Felicia for this fight. So unlike most of Cyborg's UFC fights, I don't expect this to be easy for her. Felicia has already shown that she's an elite fighter on the ground. You all saw what she did to Megan. If she can take Cyborg down, she can finish her. I know what you're thinking. Couldn't Cyborg KO Felicia? Did you know that Cris Cyborg has never KOd an opponent. All her wins were  TKOs over undersized inferior opponents. Look what happened when she tried that with Amanda Nunes. If she underestimates Felicia, the same thing could happen.
