Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino is preparing to face Tonya Evinger for the vacant UFC Women’s Featherweight Championship at UFC 214.
Cyborg, who has teased competing in professional wrestling before, took to Twitter to take a shot at former WWE Smackdown Women’s Champion Becky Lynch.
If you are smart @TripleH you Don't let @BeckyLynchWWE anywhere near the ring with me! Ireland can't handle another star losing this summer https://t.co/4qdPM1ado4

Lynch already has a small connection to the UFC, as her boyfriend is Luke Sanders, who has a 1-1-0 record in the UFC (11-1-0 overall).
The WWE superstar fired back at Cyborg via Twitter and it was quite the shot:
Are you sure Dana would let you? Seeing as he doesn't seem to let you do much else? https://t.co/M5cDwnbGXx

While the WWE has shown little interest in bringing in Cyborg in the past, the company has brought in former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey at Wrestlemania.
