EDMONTON, Alberta -- This was no vintage Cris "Cyborg" Justino performance. Which is not to say the Brazilian knockout artist fought poorly. She just didn't run through an opponent like a bulldozer per usual.
Justino defeated Felicia Spencer by unanimous decision (30-27, 30-27, 30-27) in the co-main event of UFC 240 on Saturday night at Rogers Place. While Justino got the victory, the story coming out of the bout might be the toughness of Spencer, who was rocked only once by one of the most dominant female fighters of all time.
In the first round, Spencer opened up the first cut of Justino's career with a slicing elbow to the forehead.
