Cris Cyborg
There’s a weird dog whistle commentary that goes on when some people talk about Cris “Cyborg” Justino, who’s probably the best female fighter on the planet.
People comment on her looks, they comment on the fact she once got popped for performance enhancing drugs, and they comment on the weird dance she’s had to do to find people willing to fight her.
What they haven’t done enough of — at least until now — is acknowledge the literal life-or-death commitment Cyborg has given to mixed martial arts.
