Cris Cyborg called out Holly Holm moments after winning the UFC featherweight belt at UFC 214. The Brazilian star finished Tonya Evinger in Anaheim, Calif., on July 29, to claim the vacant 145-pound championship, and is targeting a return on Las Vegas' UFC 219 card on Dec. 30. Holm lost three in a row since that win, but recently bounced back with a head kick knockout over Bethe Correia. Cyborg hasn't lost in 19 bouts, including 16 knockouts. Now, she has a date in mind for the potential clash.
