Invicta FC's Cris Cyborg era is officially over.

Less than a day before Saturday's Invicta FC 22 event, the leading lady of women's MMA announced in a video post on YouTube that she was vacating the promotion's featherweight title in order to focus on her likely UFC title berth.

"After her victory, [Germaine de Randamie] at 145 pounds, the UFC determined that she will be the No. 1 contender for my title belt," Cyborg said (h/t MMAFighting.com's Shaun al-Shatti for the transcription). "I'm healthy now and I'm strong, and I really want to show my fans why I'm still 10 years undefeated at 145 pounds.
