Former Invicta FC featherweight champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino has been vying for the UFC featherweight title for some time. Now, it would appear that UFC featherweight champion Germaine de Randamie may vacate her title.
In response to this news, Justino has taken part in an interview with The Mac Life. In the interview, Justino explained that things are a little uncertain at the moment, but she would love to face the featherweight champion.
“We are not sure who I am going to fight at UFC 214. I am still hoping to fight Germaine at UFC Anaheim but we are seeing more and more rumors that she is going to be taking some time off and with the UFC where there is smoke there is usually fire.
“I don’t think she is avoiding me, but I think fighting is not a priority for her right now. I am hearing she has other concerns in life right now and is going to be taking sometime to focus on those areas that are needing her attention before returning to the Octagon. She is a muay thai legend and finished her career undefeated. In MMA she has already had several great performances, and has even dealt with the experience of losing and coming back to fight.
“I think a fight between myself and GDR would be one for the fans. It is a great matchup between two powerful strikers. I believe I have a more ways to win the fight, and think at the end of the match fans would see why I have remained unbeaten 10 years.”
