So Cecilia had a tremendous victory tonight against Anne-Sophie Mathis. Some of you will recognize Mathis's name from 2011 when she brutally K.O'ed Holly Holm.

"Cecilia Brækhus took to the squared circle and went toe-to-toe with Anne Sophie Mathis in a fight that lasted all of two rounds, as Brækhus was able to knock out Sophie-Mathis inside two rounds. The dominant world-class boxer retained her WBA, WBC, IBF, WBO, and IBO female welterweight titles, and took to the microphone after the fight to issue a challenge toCristiane “Cyborg” Justino.
Brækhus and “Cyborg” have a bit of a history together, and oddly enough, it all started on social media when the boxer reached out to the mixed martial artist. We are in a day and age where fans are always anxiously awaiting the next big bout, and a cross-sport super fight between the two stars may be materializing before our very eyes. “Cyborg” has expressed interest in eventually stepping into the ring with Brækhus, but as it stands, a contract with the Ultimate Fighting Championship stands in the way.
If “Cyborg” cannot work out a fair deal with UFC President Dana White in the near future, it is not out of the realm of possibilities for “Cyborg” to make the transition to the boxing ring to throw down with Brækhus. As a matter of fact, rumor has it that “Cyborg’s” contract with the UFC may already be through. If this is, in fact true, this will make the negotiations between Brækhus and “Cyborg” that much easier. However, if the contract is still intact, “Cyborg” will be eyeing top-tier talent from the women’s bantamweight division to meet her for a bout.
She has put her striking on display both performances inside the octagon and has proven repeatedly throughout her career that she truly packs power in every punch she throws.
Do you think this fight will go down?"
Callout at 23:15. Unfortunately the quality is atrocious
Here is a short video of the stoppage:
Cecilia and Cyborg talked about a boxing superfight between them back in July and after tonight Cecilia said they would start working on the superfight right away. Let's hope the UFC brass doesn't torpedo this fight.
Cecilia weighed in at 66.6 kg for the fight which is 146.8 lbs and she is 1.71 m tall while Cyborg is 1.73 so they are very similar in size and Cyborg won't have to starve herself to death before the fight if it were to happen.
