Cat Zingano on fighting Holly Holm next: ‘Hell yes’ – MMA Fighting

While Cat Zingano continues down the road to recovery, she cant help but think about whats next.

First, she expressed interest in fighting Cris Cyborg Justino at a later date. But after Holly Holms impressive win over Bethe Correia last Saturday in Singapore, the former UFC womens bantamweight contender said shed be interested in fighting Holm, too.

I'm excited to see Holly do as well as she did against Bethe, Zingano said. I'm always a fan of watching (Bethe) get humbled, in that case it was instant. You have to give it to Holly, she's amazing at implementing a gameplan.

Recently, I was asked about fighting her and for it to be in contention of possibly fighting the winner of Cyborg (Justino) vs. (Megan) Anderson. My answer is hell yes. As soon as my body is ready to safely go back in there, the heads will be rolling once again. The results and trials of the treatments Im focusing on are responding and that makes me happy to hear as an athlete, as well as a normal human. Longevity in health and sport are both my top priorities, as well as in the interest of the UFC, who is providing me huge support at this time.

Zingano declined to disclose whats ailing her right now and said shes unclear when she can return just yet because its dependent on these treatments.

The 34-year-old Zingano (9-2) hasnt fought since UFC 200 last July. She hasnt won since UFC 178 in September 2014 when she defeated Amanda Nunes, who is now the UFC womens bantamweight champion.

Justino vs. Anderson, for the now-vacant UFC womens featherweight title was officially booked earlier this week for UFC 214 on July 29.
