At this weekend’s (Sat., May 14, 2016) UFC 198 from the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil, Invicta FC featherweight champ Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino will finally make her long-awaited UFC debut when she takes on Leslie Smith in a 140-pound catchweight bout as part of a massive blockbuster card. Many feel as if “Cyborg’s” UFC debut
At this weekend’s (Sat., May 14, 2016) UFC 198 from the Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Brazil, Invicta FC featherweight champ Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino will finally make her long-awaited UFC debut when she takes on Leslie Smith in a 140-pound catchweight bout as part of a massive blockbuster card.
Many feel as if “Cyborg’s” UFC debut has been more than a long time coming, as she was caught up in a highly-publicized media feud with former UFC champion Ronda Rousey, where the age-old debate raged on about whom was the most dominant female fighter on the planet when “Rowdy” ruled the women’s bantamwight division with an iron fist.
Now that she’s lost the belt, however, “Cyborg’s” path in the UFC is a little less clear, and there’s at least one onlooker who doesn’t believe it will be a great one. That person is Justino’s ex-husband, MMA veteran Evangelista “Cyborg” Santos, who just made his Bellator debut with a submission of Brennan Ward in late April.
During a recent talk with MMA Fighting, Santos unveiled his discord with UFC brass, proclaiming that they only promoted their two main stars Conor McGregor and Rousey. He had some harsh words for both ‘The Notorious’ and the currently quiet ‘Rowdy,’ in addition to some seething statements about their employers:
“They treat fighters like dogs to promote their events and make money. They only promote (Conor) McGregor, this piece of sh-t. And Ronda (Rousey) was created by the media. Cris destroys her. They should have signed Cris a long time ago. She’s the best in the world, there’s no one to beat her. She’s a warrior who never gives up, but these douchebags in the UFC spent years making fun of her. The UFC is full of douchebags. The way they treat fighters is ridiculous. I never wanted to fight in the UFC for any money. They are destroying the sport.”
As for his ex-wife Justino, Santos believes that the UFC doesn’t truly want her, but had to give into fan outreach to see her in the octagon. If they truly did, according to Santos, they would have simply created a 145-pound division for her:
“The UFC doesn’t want her there. They put her there because fans demanded, but they don’t want her there. If they truly wanted her, they would have created her weight division. They opened a division they knew she would never be able to fight at. If they say ‘we want 100 girls for a 145-pound division’, they would get it immediately. But they don’t want that. They know that Cris would overshadow their plans with Ronda.”
Some bold claims, but Santos was far from done there. Read on to the next page to see his harsh criticism about Rousey and how the UFC handled her ‘rivalry’ with Justino.

Ahead of her Octagon debut at UFC 198 in Curitiba, Brazil later this month, Invicta FC Featherweight Champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino appeared on Power 106 in Los Angeles and reacted to the recent video that surfaced online that showed former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey working out at the beach.
Among the various workouts she performed at the beach in the video that leaked online earlier this week, which you can watch below, Rousey did some shadow boxing. It was that particular exercise that caught the attention of “Cyborg.”
“I watched her last training,” Justino said during her appearance on the L.A. radio show. “She was doing shadow boxing on the beach and her shadow won.”
Cris Cyborg is scheduled to make her Octagon debut at UFC 198 against Leslie Smith on Saturday, May 14, 2016 in Curitiba, Brazil, live on pay-per-view.

It’s been nearly six months since we saw the UFC women’s bantamweight championship change hands for the first time in the promotion’s history at UFC 193. The first and only 135-pound queen up until that November night in Melbourne, Australia was none other than Ronda Rousey. The confidence that ‘Rowdy’ exuded before her fateful dance
It’s been nearly six months since we saw the UFC women’s bantamweight championship change hands for the first time in the promotion’s history at UFC 193. The first and only 135-pound queen up until that November night in Melbourne, Australia was none other than Ronda Rousey. The confidence that ‘Rowdy’ exuded before her fateful dance with Holly Holm in the Etihad Stadium proved to eventually contribute to her downfall, and also the unprecedented backlash from the fans that followed. The line between promotion and reality was blurred more than ever before, as fans appeared to take delight in the first professional loss of the female MMA pioneer.
‘Rowdy’ has not been the same since that head kick finished the fight in the second round, and neither has the division, with Holm losing in her first title defense Miesha Tate. ‘Cupcake’ was kept at bay for a third fight with Rousey because of her two prior losses to the now stricken champ, but now looks forward to defending the belt against Amanda Nunes on the blockbuster UFC 200 card.
The New Year celebrations came and went, and with the turn of 2016 came not only the new champion Tate at UFC 195, but also a far more frank and honest Rousey. During a media tour at the beginning of the year, ‘Rowdy’ revealed that the loss to ‘The Preacher’s Daughter’ had weighed more heavily on her than we had first imagined. It looked as though, even with a far more gleeful version of herself during a Sports Illustrated photo shoot, Rousey may never return to being ‘Rowdy’ again. The recent announcement of her three-movie deal with Lifetime further supported that opinion.
Ronda Rousey during her UFC 168 submission win over current champion Miesha Tate…
But between these milestone events for Rousey, her personal turmoil and rampant rumours of a return, the formerly dominant champ has stated she wants that belt back. ‘Rowdy’ said in a recent interview she wanted to uphold a promise she’d made to a dying woman before UFC 193, and then this week we got the first glimpse of Rousey working out in public, and on her boxing no less.
As well as the video of Ronda Rousey shadow boxing , there’s a rather sour reaction from another one of her many rivals on the next page….
