The time has come for Cristiane Justino to make her Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut this Saturday (May 14, 2016) at UFC 198 live on pay-per-view (PPV) from the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil.

Justino, better known by her moniker "Cyborg," will be putting her Invicta FC Featherweight title run on hold to debut inside of the Octagon at a catchweight of 140 pounds. Her opponent, Bantamweight defector Leslie Smith, will be moving up in weight to test her toughness against the best striker in the history of women’s mixed martial arts (WMMA).
