After failed attempts to enter the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) women's Bantamweight division, Cristiane Justino will make her promotional debut at a catchweight of 140 pounds opposite Leslie Smith this Saturday (May 14, 2016) at UFC 198 in Curitiba, Brazil.
Nobody knows for sure what's in store for "Cyborg" if she earns a UFC victory in 2016, but the promotion is most likely counting on her to fight again in the near future. As arguably the best striker in women's mixed martial arts (WMMA) history, one who possesses ferocious knockout power, UFC would be acting against its best interest if it didn't keep the current Invicta FC Featherweight champion around.
