UFC: What's Next For Cris Cyborg After Her Second Dominating Win In UFC
Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino has once again displayed another dominating knockout win against UFC newcomer Lina Lansberg in the main event of UFC Fight Night Brasilia in Brazil last September 24, 2016. Cris Cyborg is undeniably unstoppable, her second UFC win has yet again proved that she is one of the best Female MMA fighters of all time. The question MMA fans are now asking is, "What's next for Cris Cyborg in the UFC?"
According to Yahoo Sports, Cris Cyborg expressed her interest to continue fighting for UFC. However, going down to bantamweight division is out of the question. "I already have two belts at home, I just want to put on superfights for my fans and make them happy," Cris Cyborg said during her post-fight interview.
Cyborg is currently the Invicta FC featherweight champion, and was also the Strikeforce featherweight champion. Getting a UFC belt would be a great addition to her collection, however, UFC has no plans in opening another women's division just yet.
"Every time that I made weight at this weight class at 140 pounds is very tough for me," said Cyborg. "I know they won't want to make 145, so I'll do my sacrifice. I'll cry to make 140" she added. Her recent fight against Lansberg has forced her to shed a huge 25lbs in a few days.
Cris Cyborg has already dominated the featherweight division and getting women from the bantamweight division to go up her weight class is highly unlikely. To continue fighting for UFC, she would have to go down to 140lbs at catch weight. Cyborg also mentioned in a Fox Sports interview that she would want to fight ranked female fighter and preferably those in the top 10. UFC currently has not shown any hint of interest in opening another women's division anytime soon.
