10 UFC Fights To Watch In July
3. Cris Cyborg Vs. Felicia Spencer - UFC 240
After suffering a devastating loss to Amanda Nunes in her last bout, it's now time to see if we're witnessing the downfall of the legendary Cris Cyborg. After all, we've all seen fighters come back from huge losses, but we've also seen plenty fail to recapture their former glory too.
Cyborg still has all of the talents that once made her one of the most feared women alive. Whether it's her ridiculous power or her underrated grappling, on paper she's still a force to be reckoned with. However, she was reckless in her last fight, which after 14 years of competition shouldn't have happened. Getting caught like that might've tempered her fight style slightly or she might be the same old, same old.
Her opponent, Felicia Spencer, has never fought an opponent on the level of Cyborg. However, with very few women at featherweight to compete with, it's her time to step up and stake a claim for a title shot. From the footage available, Spencer looks like a very aggressive grappler who is always looking to take her opponent's back. However, whether or not she can get her game going against an experienced grappler like Cyborg is a different story.
