Cristiane Justino personifies ferocity perhaps better than any other fighter in mixed martial arts, male or female. “Cyborg” wields a special kind of savagery.
The reigning Invicta Fighting Championships featherweight titleholder will make her second appearance inside the Ultimate Fighting Championship in a headlining gig opposite Lina Lansberg on Saturday at Nilson Nelson Gymnasium in Brasilia, Brazil. Their catchweight clash at 140 pounds sits atop the UFC Fight Night “Cyborg vs. Lansberg” card, as the UFC heads to South America for the first time since May.
In the featherweight co-main event, Nova Uniao standout Renan Barao locks horns with “The Ultimate Fighter 8” finalist Phillipe Nover.
