Without a fight scheduled in the foreseeable future, it’s time Cyborg throws around a new opponent.

The UFC women’s featherweight champion is on the sidelines due to her perceived opponent Amanda Nunes waiting to fight. So Cyborg branched out into other athletics by attending the Los Angeles Chargers training camp this summer.

There, Cyborg participated in a variety of football-related activities, catching passes and kicks, and showing some of the players her own moves. She even ragdolled former NFL wide receiver and Chargers coach Phil McGeoghan with a judo throw.

UFC 229: Conor vs. Khabib May Have Heavyweight Co-Main Event

Derrick Lewis vs. Alexander Volkov looks like it will serve as the co-main event for UFC 229: Conor vs. Khabib

The post UFC 229: Conor vs. Khabib May Have Heavyweight Co-Main Event appeared first on LowKickMMA.com.

UFC 229: Conor vs. Khabib is already expected to set MMA PPV records, but it appears a heavyweight fight between Derrick Lewis and Alexander Volkov may serve as the co-main event of the evening.

ESPN.com first reported the possible heavyweight scrap and MMAjunkie later confirmed.

Lewis (20-5) is the #2 ranked heavyweight in the world. The only man ranked higher than him is the recently dethroned Stipe Miocic. The Houston native is riding a two-fight win streak. With an impressive win over Volkov Lewis could find himself as the next man up for Daniel Cormier’s heavyweight belt.

Volkov has been on a terror since entering the UFC. He is on an impressive six-fight win streak with the last four coming inside the octagon. He most recently picked apart Fabricio Werdum en route to a fourth-round TKO stoppage over the former champion. A win over Lewis would all but assures the Russian a crack at the heavyweight title.

UFC 229 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada on Oct. 6, 2018.

Here is the card so far with the rumored Lewis vs. Volkov fight:

Yana Kunitskaya vs. Lina Länsberg

Sergio Pettis vs. Jussier Formiga

Derrick Lewis vs. Alexander Volkov

Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor
