Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino made her presence felt the minute she stepped into the Ultimate Fighting Championship octagon, putting Leslie Smith on her back in less than three minutes. Since then, “Cyborg’s” momentum has floundered and she has taken it upon herself to get the ball rolling for her next fight.
“Cyborg” has set her sights on UFC Featherweight Champion Germaine de Randamie as she tries to get her hands on the newly created featherweight title. Shortly after dominating Lina Lansberg, de Randamie defeated Holly Holm for the inaugural featherweight championship only to be sidelined from injury.
During her time in recovery, de Randamie was subjected to messages on social media from “Cyborg” relentlessly challenging her for a fight. Now, “Cyborg” is hinting that their next fight is set to take place at “UFC 214”, though de Randamie and UFC officials have yet to comment on that claim.
“Cyborg” is prepared to take her rivalry with de Randamie to the next level and she recently put the champion on blast for her lack of followers. “Raging” Al Iaquinta has become a must-follow in the mixed martial arts community after his lashing out against Reebok, and “Cyborg” was quick to point out this fact:
Interesting fact @ALIAQUINTA sat out 2 years without fighting and still has more twitter followers than @UFC champion @IronLadyMMA

Think “Cyborg’s” trash talk is going to get her this championship shot?
