The heart of the matter

After her historic victory at UFC 214, Cyborg called out Becky Lynch and demanded Triple H to make the match happen at Summerslam.

Becky Lynch, who was watching the UFC fight in what appears to be a bar, shot back at Cyborg by saying she wasn't afraid of her and that she was 'studying her'.

"The Irish Lass Kicker" also said that the UFC fighter 'would get burned' when she fights with fire (alluding to herself as 'fire). The WWE Superstar later tweeted saying she's not scared of anything, taking the challenge head on to Cyborg.

What's next?

After her victory at UFC 2014, Cyborg threw an open challenge to any fighter and said that she would face anyone.

Apart from calling out Lynch, she also demanded a fight with former UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion, Holly Holm.

Meanwhile, Becky Lynch doesn't have any significant feud on Smackdown LIVE and this possible match-up between Lynch and Cyborg could happen at Summerslam.

Author's take

The prospect of an MMA-WWE crossover is an exciting one! Cyborg is a beast on the mat and would fit in very well in the WWE.
