While all eyes may currently be on WWE Superstar Brock Lesnar's potential return to UFC, it seems we should all probably be paying closer attention to the possibility that a UFC star is about to hit the squared circle in time for SummerSlam next month. Cris Cyborg, who became the second UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion this weekend, and Becky Lynch, are teasing a fight on Twitter!
They've been taunting each other for a while but it's only now that things have taken a slightly more serious turn with Cyborg appealing directly to Triple H for a match with Lynch. SummerSlam would be the perfect venue for this, especially as the show doesn't really have a big match to get casual and hardcore fans alike excited about ahead of its return to Brooklyn for the third year in a row.
UFC reportedly still owes WWE a favour after they let Lesnar take on Mark Hunt at UFC 200 and with Cyborg now the top female athlete in UFC since Ronda Rousey's fall from grace, it would be a lot of fun seeing what these two could do in a match. The question is whether or not they have enough time to hype this and prepare for what would undoubtedly be a cross-promotion spectacle. Fingers crossed!
