On Thursday, two of the most popular female fighters in the world trained together as UFC strawweight Paige VanZant trained with Invicta Featherweight Champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino.
VanZant posted a photo of herself training with Justino on her Instagram. She said she was blessed and wrote the caption, “Not often you get to train with the best female fighter in the world! Iron sharpens iron!”
VanZant’s opinion may be true when she says Justino is the best female fighter in the world. “Cyborg” is the current Invicta featherweight champion. She was also the only woman to hold the Strikeforce Women’s Featherweight Championship.
On top of her success when it comes to winning championships, Justino is also unbeaten in the UFC. Overall, Justino is unbeaten in her last 18 fights with her last two wins coming inside the UFC. Seven of her 18 wins were in title fights.
VanZant is one of the top prospects in women’s MMA. She is currently one of the top 115-pound fighters in the world. She has four wins in the UFC with notable wins over Felice Herrig and Bec Rawlings.
