With Megan Anderson off the UFC 214 card the UFC have now called an outside opponent in to fight Cris Cyborg. Tonya Evinger is Invicta FC’s current Bantamweight champion who has a MMA record of 19-5. Evinger is on a 10 fight win streak, her last loss was back in 2011. Cris Cyborg is undefeated in over 11 years with a record of 19-1 in professional MMA and has not fought in Invicta FC not too long ago.

The original bout between Cyborg and Anderson was only announced last week when former champion Germaine De’Ramdie was stripped for refusing to fight Cyborg. Due to undisclosed personal reasons however, Anderson is now unable to fight.
