Holly Holm is going to do whatever it takes to get back to the main event, even if that includes fighting arguably the baddest woman in the game, Cris Cyborg at 140 pounds.

When asked about it, Holm noted she wouldn't be against fighting at 140, after boxing at 152 pounds previously, per 120 sports, via Uproxx:
"I'm not even stuck on the 135 compared to the 140 stuff. It's not really a big thing for me."
"In boxing, I fought in three weight classes. I'm not gonna say that I'm against going at 140. I actually think Cyborg might be able to do 135. Who knows? But that's definitely something that could be an option for the future. I'm actually really happy for her victory. I really like Cyborg. I think she's a great gal."
Holm, slated to main event a UFC Fight Night from Chicago, stepped up to the boss and it backfired in a big way after she surprisingly took the bantamweight crown from Ronda Rousey back in November.

Instead of waiting for Rousey's return to the Octagon, the champ insisted on fighting Miesha Tate despite UFC president Dana White attempting to talk her down, got choked out and lost her belt.
Now Holm will do whatever she can to get back to the main event, even if that means fighting the terrifying Cyborg.
