5 interesting facts about Cris Cyborg

#2 She's lobbied for a WWE match...more than once

It's evident that Cris Cyborg is a big wrestling fan. In fact, from what it seemed, WWE was planning an angle in 2017 for Cris Cyborg to hop in and face Becky Lynch in a one-off. Cyborg stated that if Ronda Rousey wasn't going to appear in the ring anytime soon, she would more than gladly do so, calling Becky Lynch out on Twitter.

This led to a Twitter feud and they took a lot of jabs at each other. Ultimately, the plan didn't come to fruition, and Rousey debuted months later at the Royal Rumble 2018.

She also stated that she didn't mind facing (and losing) to Ronda Rousey in WWE. In an interview with MMAFighting, she said:

I think Ronda’s biggest fear was losing to me, so if we were to do it in WWE she would have to win. I don’t have such a big ego, but if we were to put on a show for the fans, something like that, no problem.
