Evinger replaces Anderson for title fight vs. Cyborg at UFC 214

Cris "Cyborg" Justino has a new opponent for the UFC women's featherweight title fight on July 29.

The promotion announced Tuesday that Tonya Evinger will replace Megan Anderson at UFC 214 in Anaheim, Calif., after Anderson pulled out due to personal reasons.

Anderson, the Invicta FC featherweight champion, was set to enter the bout for the vacant strap with an 8-2 record. Instead, Evinger, the Invicta FC bantamweight champ, will go up in weight to battle Cyborg.

"This is something I've thought about doing - going up to 145 pounds - just to get more competition," Evinger said.

Evinger enters the bout with a 19-5 record and has not lost since 2011.

Cyborg owns a career 17-1 record as she sets out to claim her first UFC title.
