Cris “Cyborg” Justino says she’d made boxing legend Floyd Mayweather tap if they ever found inside of an MMA cage.

UFC featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino is gearing up to make her second title defense when she fights Yana Kunitskaya on Saturday, but it’s not the newcomer that’s on her mind — it’s boxing legend Floyd Mayweather and the baddest woman on the planet says she’d make Mayweather tap if she ever got the chance.

“I would try my grappling for him,” Cyborg said when asked how she thought a hypothetical fight between her and Mayweather would go. “First thing I would try is a double leg.”

She agreed that she’d make Mayweather tap if she could get him to the ground.

Though Cyborg says she’d be able to take him in MMA rules, she isn’t as confident if they were in a boxing ring.

“In boxing, it would be crazy,” she laughed.

The idea of women and men fighting in MMA or boxing isn’t a new idea, especially since women like Cyborg already train with men every day in the gym.

“When I am training with guys I learn a lot because they are stronger,” she said. “And some guys have a lot of techniques they can teach me and for sure improve my game.”

Cyborg voiced her desire to box previously and even briefly campaigned for a spot on the undercard of the historic Mayweather vs. Conor McGregor super fight last year. That never happened, but Cyborg would support a crossover.

“If it happened, it would be very nice,” Cyborg said. “Imagine him in the UFC.”

Mayweather and McGregor in the ring happened in August 2017, and McGregor has challenged Mayweather to a rematch in the Octagon though that’s unlikely as Mayweather has said he’s retired (again).

Cyborg will face Kunitskaya on short notice as the main event at UFC 222 in Las Vegas, NV’s T-Mobile Arena on Saturday, March 3, 2018.
