Cat Zingano left the UFC a little bit early. She had a very strange run in the giant MMA promotion after losing a big title fight against Ronda Rousey.
Now she could potentially fight Cris Cyborg for the featherweight title in Bellator MMA. She's still paying attention to the UFC and couldn't help but notice that the new bantamweight champion is someone she's already fought. Cat Zingano spoke about in an interview MMAFighting.
“I have a bit of stubbornness — especially with the fights that I’ve lost — where I know what I had going on in my life, what my body and my mind were acting like, and I know that I’d love to avenge losses,” Zingano stated. “I would even like to avenge bad performances and just show up in a way that I’m proud of, walk away in a way that I’m proud of.
“My body is so much healthier and I have all of this energy, my physiology worked itself out and it would be a lot easier to make 135 now. When I watch the UFC and I see Julianna Pena beating Amanda Nunes, and I see all of these other people that I’ve fought, there’s a lot of unfinished business that I see over there. Do I want to do that? I don’t know. I still have two fights left on this contract and I’m very loyal and committed to it. I’m very excited about this contract and about the 145 [pound] division at Bellator. I want that title and I want to fight the best of the best [in Bellator].
“Realistically, the world is an oyster as far as MMA goes, and as long as I’m feeling good, loving it, and as long as I’m winning and having great days in the practice room, I just want to see what I can do. I want to find my ceilings and my walls.”
It's not clear if Cat Zingano would find herself fighting in the UFC again. She's been having good success in Bellator MMA and has some fun fights to make next.
