Cristiane Justino doesn’t care if she never wears a UFC belt around her waist; she just wants to fight the big names, such as Ronda Rousey, Holly Holm, and Miesha Tate.

Finally making her UFC debut, Cris Cyborg is not too worried about winning a UFC belt. The current Invicta FC champion and former Strikeforce champion says she intends to please her fans with superfights during her UFC run.

“Actually, I’m not thinking about belts. I only think about making big fights,” She told Portal do Vale Tudo. “I’m already the champion of my weight class, so I want to be in superfights for the fans. Holly Holm would be a superfight, because she’s also a striker so we will throw all the time. Miesha would be cool, too, because she showed she can strike against Holm. And Ronda, of course. She likes to talk, but she has been so quiet lately. That’s a fight all fans would like to see.”

At 30 years old, “Cyborg” still has the time to make all superfights happen, but before any of those, she will take on Leslie Smith at UFC 198, in her hometown of Curitiba, Brazil, on May 14. The main event of the evening will be a heavyweight title fight between champion Fabricio Werdum and challenger Stipe Miocic.
