Cris Cyborg Discusses Her Victory at UFC 219

Speaking to reporters in the post-fight press conference for UFC 219, Cris “Cyborg” Justino” discussed her victory over Holly Holm in the main event at UFC 219 (transcript h/t MMAjunkie). Below are some highlights from the presser.

Cyborg on if she thinks she’s the greatest female fighter ever: “I never think like that. I let my fans think about that. I just have to keep training and keep learning, because the girls are going to beat me, and I have to be ready.”

Her thoughts on Holly Holm and the fight: “I think Holly’s tough. I think it’s the first fight I did five rounds. … I worked a lot of patience. She is tough and has a lot of experience. I touched her, and I saw she felt the punches, but she was moving around a lot.”

On what’s next for her after this fight: “I wouldn’t like to fight somebody Brazilian, but if she wants to fight me, I’ll fight anybody (UFC President) Dana White puts in front of me. I’m saying Megan, because she’s 145 pounds, and I would like my division growing. I think she’s in line to fight for the belt.”

Cyborg on how she’s feeling after the win: “I’m really happy, because I know to have a great fight, I need a great opponent.”
