Cyborg is only now part of the UFC promotion because of the unique fight being set-up for her, and she is thankful for Conor McGregor's influence.
The Invicta featherweight champion told Fox Sports that the Irishman's decision to move up and down weights helped persuade the UFC to hand her a debut fight this May.
"I think McGregor opened the door for this. He's fighting at different weights. I think he opened the door to make this fight happen. There you go. I'm really happy for the opportunity" "I think when you clean your division and you don't have any more opponents or you want challenges, it's OK to go up or you can try to go down. All the fighters go up, but now I have to go down. If you can go up or go down to make a big challenge for the fans, it's good for everyone."
