UFC fighter Cris Cyborg challenges Becky Lynch

Becky Lynch doesn’t officially have an opponent for SummerSlam quite yet, but another former champion has thrown down the gauntlet for what would be a dream bout at The Biggest Event of the Summer. Former Strikeforce Women’s Featherweight Champion and former Invicta FC World Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg posted a fan-made fantasy match-up graphic depicting herself against Lynch, writing that if the UFC’s Ronda Rousey isn’t stepping into the WWE ring in the near future, she’s happy to mix it up with SmackDown LIVE’s “Straight Fire.”

The former SmackDown Women’s Champion responded shortly after, saying she’d have no issues throwing down with the UFC powerhouse.

Below are their tweets:

The pair traded Twitter barbs earlier this week, with Cyborg sending an incendiary response to Triple H’s tweet inviting Conor McGregor and Floyd Mayweather to Raw, and Becky throwing a stinging jab in response.
