UFC Fight Night 95: Cyborg vs. Lansberg Fight Card, TV Info, Predictions, More

In her second UFC fight, Cris Cyborg returns to the Octagon on Saturday looking to extend her winning streak to six as she takes on UFC newcomer Lina Lansberg.

UFC is seemingly creating a new division to accommodate Cyborg's size. The promotion has two women's divisions—strawweight (115 pounds) and bantamweight (135 pounds)—yet Cyborg has been given two catchweight matches at 140 pounds.

As a result of Cyborg being bigger and outside the weight class of UFC's biggest female division, Lansberg is being served up as a sacrificial lamb after just seven career fights in smaller promotions.

Anything can happen in a fight, but Cyborg is being put in the mixed martial arts equivalent of a WWE squash match for her home country in Brazil.
