In a very popular decision, mixed martial arts (MMA) phenom Cristiane "Cyborg" Santos will make her Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut at UFC 198 on May 14. She will fight Bantamweight warrior Leslie Smith at a catchweight of 140 pounds.
It now looks like the promotion is experimenting even further with expanding the women's divisions. Two former Strawweight contenders, Joanne Calderwood and Valerie Letourneau, will meet at 125 pounds at UFC Fight Night 89 on June 14 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. It will be the first female Flyweight bout in UFC history.
