Cris Cyborg Says She Doesn't Want To Move To 135 Pounds Anymore, Did She Win Last Night?
Cris "Cyborg" Justino has spent the better part of the last two years playing the hokey-pokey about the idea of dropping to 135 pounds for a potential fight with Ronda Rousey. In the wake of Rousey's loss, that is no longer the case.
Cyborg appeared on AXS TV's Inside MMA Friday, and ruled out the idea that she'd ever drop to 135 pounds, something she said she'd try in February 2014.
"For me, I'll keep it at 145, just my division. 135 is not my idea anymore," Cyborg said.
She also said that she felt healthy after a weight cut without IV, just a little cold. She went on to defeat Daria Ibragimova with two seconds left in the first round of Invicta FC 15 last night.
Ibragimova was destroyed in the bout, but did manage to take the much larger Cyborg down, albeit for a brief amount of time. Ibragimova was able to clinch Cyborg for the better part of the round, something that may not have boded well for Justino in a fight with Rousey. The stand-up portion of the fight was all Cyborg, as is tradition.
Cyborg also stated that she'd be open to fighting Rousey or Holm, but not at 135 pounds. You can see video of her statements to Inside MMA above.
