Cyborg will face Tonya Evinger at UFC 214

Evinger to replace Anderson against Cyborg

 

[nuraknu]

It's cool. I was looking forward to Anderson, but there's some buzz that folks think this will be a better fight.

 

[Mad Dog]

This is an interesting replacement fight. The article says Anderson withdrew due to personal reasons. I wonder what that really means.

Kudos to Tonya for stepping up. Should be a good fight.

 

[Wild]

Tough break for Megan, but awesome opportunity for Tonya. Glad to see her get it too. She's always so cool and accommodating to the fans.

 

[Rambo John J]

Pregnant?

probably good for her to not fight the best woman hand to hand fighter the world has seen so far

[Wild]

Damn. hope it's nothing serious going on with Megan.

From brazil UFC site then run through google translate.

Cris Cyborg will not stop training to fight for the vacant UFC women's featherweight title, but her rival will no longer be Megan Anderson, who has been out of combat because of visa problems.
Now Cyborg will face another Invicta FC champion, Tonya Evinger, who has successfully won and defended Invicta's bantamweight belt since 2015.

Tonya by knee bar.

 

[Wild]

Tonya's got balls. Nobody wants Cyborg, yet Tonya signs on to go up a weight and fight her. Respect.

That's Spanish, brother. Not Portuguese.

Can't be a Brazilian site.

 

[KWingJitsu]

THIS IS A JOKE. WHY CAN'T THEY FIND SOME CHICKS WITH BALLS?

 

[Onetrickpony]

You can tell I don't speak Spanish or Portuguese.

Anderson didnt want to fight. I think everything was becoming to overwhelming and saw those sparring videos with Cyborg and the boxing champ and decided it was a good time to save her face

I speak both (I'm 100% serious) and trust me, they're almost the same language.

You'd be able to pick up Tagalog no problem. It's got some of both Spanish and Portuguese mixed in there. My wife can somewhat understand Spanish because so many of the words are the same.

 

[HEATH VON DOOM]

They should just scrap this weight class and work on scrapping the whole womens division.

Visa issues?? God damn government

We all know Megan saw the training tape of Cyborg with that Olympic boxer and disappeared.
I don't care who it is so long as they find a goat to put in the cage to be destroyed. Cyborg fights are the closest to Jurassic Park I will ever get.

 

[GJdeux]

I wonder if Holly just didn't fight if they would have offered it to her. Shame...Evinger will be interesting,

 

[Chief]

Props to Evinger even though she is too small to fight Cyborg.
