Yea, this is definitely it. Guarantee Cyborg is fighting this chick because they threw a ton of money at her. Garbrandt was on mmahour this week telling Ariel that they were offering him and TJ extra money to fight. When TJ turned it down, Cyborg was probably the only champion option since the UFC didn't want to do an interim title at 145. You have a lot of leverage when you are literally the one and only option.

If Cyborg turned down Nunes, we would know it from Ariel/Nunes/Dana by now. The UFC would definitely make that fight if at all possible. Not every champ is available on less than a month's notice.
