Cyborg Is Fighting In The UFC And It’s (Partially) Conor’s Fault
Cris “Cyborg” Justino
Cris “Cyborg” Justino, the most dominant female MMA fighter outside of the UFC will now be fighting inside the UFC.
Cyborg is too heavy to compete in UFC’s current female weight classes, but the recent success ($$) of Conor McGregor’s catchweight fight has encouraged the promotion to do more non-weight class-based fights.
Hence, Cyborg vs. Leslie Smith at UFC 198.
