Cris ‘Cyborg’ No Longer Dropping to 140 Pounds for Invicta FC Bout on Jan. 16

Ronda Rousey’s upset loss to Holly Holm will keep Cristiane Justino in the featherweight division for the time being.

Invicta Fighting Championships President Shannon Knapp revealed on ”Inside MMA” Friday night that “Cyborg” will remain at 145 pounds for her next bout with the all-female promotion.

“Cyborg’s next fight will be at 145 pounds,” Knapp said. “This will be the first time that she has competed without hydrating herself with an IV, so she’s made the decision to go ahead and defend her belt.”

Justino will face Cindy Dandois in a featherweight title bout at Invicta FC 15 on Jan.
