Although the matchup seems imminent, Holly Holm has not officially signed to fight UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg.

A long-anticipated fight between Holm (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) and Cyborg (18-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC)) has been discussed for UFC 219 on Dec. 30 in Las Vegas, but at this point the fight hasn’t been finalized.

Holm’s career is sitting idle while she apparently waits for a “good offer” to step in the octagon with the Brazilian titleholder. In that downtown, “The Preacher’s Daughter” and her team at JacksonWink MMA in Albuquerque, N.M., have come up with some creative ways to keep motivated (via Instagram):

Holm, a former UFC women’s bantamweight champion, has said she’s eager to compete against Cyborg and attempt to snap the Brazilian’s unbeaten streak of more than 10 years. She believes she has the solution to what’s been an unsolvable riddle, but believes she should be properly compensated for what would be one of the biggest fights in women’s MMA history.

Following a three-fight losing skid which included dropping the 135-pound title and a failed bid at the inaugural 145-pound belt, Holm scored a head-kick knockout of Bethe Correia at UFC Fight Night 111 in June to get her career back in track.

Although Holm and Cyborg recently sparred over the topic of drug testing for their fight, it appears both sides want better deals before stepping in the octagon at UFC 219.
