UFC Fight Night 95 Results: Cris Cyborg In Action, UFC Heavyweight Kicks Referee
As she has done countless times in the past, Cris "Cyborg" Justino imposed her will on Lina Lansberg at UFC Fight Night 95. This one, though, went to the second round, as Lansberg survived the early onslaught.
Cyborg, who holds the Invicta FC featherweight champion, has fought twice now at 140 pounds for the UFC as there is no 145-pound division. She showcased her incredible power and strength by dominating Lansberg, a former champion in Muay Thai.
In one of the featured matches, Roy Nelson scored a victory over Antonio "Bigfoot" Silva. However, Nelson's post-fight antics are what will be remembered, as "Big Country" appeared to kick referee John McCarthy. Nelson was upset by the late stoppage against Silva, who he called his "friend" during the post-fight interview.
Renan Barao, a former UFC bantamweight champion, earned his first win at featherweight with a decision over Phillipe Nover. Other main card winners included Francisco Trinaldo, Eric Spicely and Godofredo Pepey.
Michel Prazeres, Rani Yahya, Jussier Formiga, Erick Silva, Alan Patrick, Vicente Luque and Gregor Gillespie all picked up victories on the prelims.
