Following the fight Braekhus, told Fino Boxing that a “Hybrid fight with Cyborg” would be “Amazing”, and then went on to say “I think she’s actually a better striker than McGregor. I think that would be a much more competitive fight than Mayweather V McGregor”

Just spoke to @criscyborg here at @StubHub Center. She said she has two more fights in the @UFC, then plans to try to box. She wants to fight @CeciliaBraekhus who is fighting here tonight. She said she can go back to #MMA after that
