While there is no doubt that Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino is one of the most dangerous women to ever step foot inside the octagon, one can’t start to notice how quickly her momentum faded after the inaugural featherweight champion was crowned.
“Cyborg” was absolutely dominant in her promotional debut, knocking out Leslie Smith in front of her fellow Brazilians in less than two minutes. The fight established just how powerful of a striker she really is.
Her next fight pulled in a record amount of viewers, and she became one of the most watched female fighters in UFC history after making quick work of the newcomer Lina Lansberg. However, after this fight, “Cyborg” would get flagged for a drug test that would further delay her next bout. Now, “Cyborg” is stuck in limbo looking for an opponent to throw down with.
If only UFC strawweight Angela Magana could make the switch to featherweight we would have a quick rivalry on our hands.
