Sorry, Cyborg: Dana White Has No Plans for New Women's Divisions in the UFC
Tom Taylor - September 19, 2016
This weekend, the UFC returns to Brasilia, Brazil with an exciting night of fights. The card will be headlined by a 140 lb. catchweight bout between reigning Invicta featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino and debuting Muay Thai specialist, Lina Lansberg. The reason this bout is being contested at a catchweight is simple: Cyborg can’t make the 135 lb. cap of the bantamweight division, which is the heaviest women’s division in the UFC. Of course, we know the cut to 140 is no picnic for her either…

'Cyborg' Still Wants Ronda Rousey: "This Fight Needs to Happen."
Tom Taylor - September 5, 2016
A few years ago, there was no bigger fight for women’s MMA than a clash between former UFC bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey and Invicta featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino. The main hurdle at the time, however, was that Cyborg was not a UFC fighter. Today, that has changed. Cyborg has already fought once in the UFC, mauling Leslie Smith to a first round KO, and is scheduled for an Octagon return against Lina Lansberg in a few short weeks. Unfortunately, Rousey is now nowhere to be seen. After losing her bantamweight crown to Holly Holm almost a year ago, the former champion has dropped of the map entirely, casting doubt on the possibility of a long-awaited showdown with Cyborg.
