SAN DIEGO – Cat Zingano has been here before, and she’s grateful to be here again.
When she steps into cage against women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg on Saturday at Bellator 300, it won’t be Zingano’s first time competing for a major MMA title. At UFC 184, then-undefeated Zingano made the mistake of blitzing bantamweight champ Ronda Rousey with a flying knee after the opening bell. Fourteen seconds later, the fight was over when Rousey locked in a straight armbar for the submission.
That was more than eight years ago in February 2015. A lot has changed for Zingano since then.
