Scott Hernandez - March 26, 2016

After UFC 193, Ronda Rousey admitted that she had suicidal thoughts following her brutal KO loss to Holly Holm. While a loss is surely a tough thing for any fighter, Invicta FC Champion Cris Cyborg has a very unique perspective on a loss, and how fighters can use a loss as a positive opportunity.

UFC exploring possibility of Cris 'Cyborg' Justino fighting at UFC 198 in Brazil

Russell Ess - March 17, 2016

Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino recently put on a campaign to fight at UFC 198, which takes place in Curitiba, Brazil on May 14th. “I would love for the UFC to bring in my division,” said “Cyborg” recently. “If you look at the top 12 girls ranked at bantamweight (in the UFC), seven of them have fought higher than 135. But I do not think the UFC has to introduce the division to let me fight in their promotion. They have a great relationship with Invicta and I’m sure (president Shannon Knapp) would let me defend my title in Brazil.”

UFC President Dana White has stated on numerous occasions that Cris Cyborg will not fight in the UFC because journalists would have a “field day” at the UFC’s expense if she were to fail a drug test. However, with that being said, White also stated that we would never see women competing in the sport, and last Saturday at UFC 196, a women’s bantamweight title fight headlined the event as Miesha Tate won the title by submitting Holly Holm.
