Apparently great strikers simply attract each other. Invicta FC featherweight champion Cristane “Cyborg” Justino has posted to Instagram, “Cageside with 2x world champ Amir ‘King’ Khan.”

Champion boxer Amir Khan and Cris Cyborg can be seen together at Saturday’s UFC 208, in which former UFC bantamweight champion Holly Holm will face against Germaine de Randamie for the inaugural UFC featherweight title.
Cyborg is currently facing a momentary suspension from the UFC, due to a non-PED anti-doping USADA violation from last December. However, Cyborg’s future in the division is looking better. Dana White recently spoke positively about Cyborg’s chances of landing a retroactive therapeutic use exemption for the violation.
If Cyborg can achieve the exemption, she will likely be next in line to fight for the UFC featherweight title.
Undefeated in the UFC, with her only professional loss being back in 2005, many believe that Cyborg will be a dominant force in the featherweight division of the UFC.
What will become of women’s UFC featherweight division following UFC 208’s inaugural championship bout is yet to be seen.
