Cris ‘Cyborg’: If UFC doesn’t open women’s featherweight division, I’ll leave

It looks like Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino won’t be sticking around in the UFC unless her weight class of 145 pounds is implemented in the organization.

Cyborg, who joined the UFC roster in March of this year, has fought twice under the UFC banner, and both times have been outside her weight class and at a catchweight of 140 pounds. It’s been well documented that Cyborg has to use extremely harsh methods to make the weight cut to a 140 pounds, and has been taped crying and even collapsing during the brutal cut.

The UFC currently has only two women’s divisions – strawweight (115 pounds) and bantamweight (135 pounds).
