Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino may be the best 145-pound woman in mixed martial arts, but for now, she's hasn't got a championship belt to go with that title.
Invicta Fighting Championships' inaugural featherweight champion, the 31-year-old Brazilian has now vacated that strap. In a self-released video posted on Friday, Cyborg said that she was relinquishing the title to focus on her Ultimate Fighting Championship career, specifically angling for a summer date with UFC women's featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie.
“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,” Cyborg said in the video.
