Cris Cyborg and Cat Zingano have been going after each other lately ahead of a potential featherweight title fight in Bellator MMA. Scott Coker recently stepped in and gave his opinion on the ongoing situation.

Cat Zingano recently went after Cris Cyborg by saying she is refusing to drug test ahead of a potential MMA fight. Cyborg did not appreciate the claims and was quick to fire back.

“Cat Zingano, why are you lying? I haven’t refused any drug tests,” Justino fired back (via BJPenn.com). “I’m ready whenever you are. Behind the scenes you keep saying to Bellator you need more time to prepare for me, you need a different opponent first, now you go on social media with lies and smear campaigns and excuses? Sad.”

Bellator MMA President Scott Coker was recently asked about the fight during the latest event on Saturday. He seems to think the timing is an issue with the fight.

“I think timing is going to be an issue on that fight when Cat is ready to fight her, and we would like that fight to happen as soon as possible,” Coker said at the Bellator 273 press conference. “That is our plan, but we have to have both fighters agree to that plan. So we’re talking to the managers and Cat’s manager and find out whether she’s ready to fight and will she be willing to fight Cyborg.”

It's not clear what exactly will be next for Cris Cyborg in her next Bellator MMA title fight. Cat Zingano appears to be the option that everyone wants next.
