Surprisingly enough, Cris “Cyborg” Justino did not add to her impressive list of first round victories Saturday night at UFC Fight Night 95.
But she didn’t suffer defeat either.
Justino bruised Lina Lansberg in the first before finishing her in the second round with vicious ground-and-pound, improving to 2-0 inside the Octagon. The reigning Invicta FC featherweight champion bested Leslie Smith earlier this year.
The co-main event featured Renan Barao earning a decision over Phillipe Nover, while Roy Nelson knocked out Antonio “Bigfoot” Silva in a featured main card bout.
However, Nelson’s win will be remembered more for his post-fight antics, as “Big Country” appeared to kick referee John McCarthy because he felt the stoppage was late.
