Cyborg is back. Or maybe she never left at all?
Cris “Cyborg” Justino, 34, rebounded from her stunning loss to Amanda Nunes earlier this year—her first since losing by submission in her debut way back in 2005—with a return to form in beating a very durable Felicia Spencer in UFC 240’s co-main event. Justino won by unanimous decision; that the fight went to the scorecards at all could be seen as something of a moral victory, if moral victories counted for anything in mixed martial arts. They do not.
Justino came out swinging as she always does, but Spencer took more far more punishment than most Cyborg opponents can endure.
