Cyborg vs. Germaine de Randamie in works for UFC 201

According to a report on UFC Tonight, "Cyborg" could be making a quick turnaround to fight again at UFC 201 in Atlanta. A catchweight bout between her and Germaine de Randamie is being discussed for event, which takes place on July 30 at the Phillips Arena.

Justino (16-1-1) is coming off of an 81-second TKO of Leslie Smith in her Octagon debut, which occurred at UFC 198 in her native Curitiba, Brazil. The 30-year old Justino is the current featherweight champion in Invicta FC, and had expressed a desire to defend her belt in that organization in her next fight. Her fight with Smith was contested at a 140-pound catchweight.

The 32-year old De Randamie has won back-to-back fights Larissa Pacheco and Anna Elmose, the latter occurring earlier this month during the UFC's foray into Rotterdamn.

UFC 201 will feature a welterweight title fight between defending champion Robbie Lawler and Tyron Woodley in the main event.

And of course this a false report from UFC Tonight ...


Cyborg has used social media to fire back at what she claims to be an inaccurate rumor.

After a tweet in English claiming her next fight would be a 145-pound title defense in the Invicta FC cage, Justino ranted about the situation in Portugese.

Translated .......


“My next title defense will be in my weight 145lbs Title defense in InvictaFights catchweight only with Ronda Rousey or Miesha Tate,”


The tweets continued with several issues “Cyborg” has with the UFC’s treatment of her as a champion.


“I’m a champion at 145lbs, UFC doesn’t have my division, that’s fine!” Justino wrote in a series of tweets. “But they don’t have the right to erase my division. No point in trying to manipulate my fans, I’ll be defending my belt next fight! I’ve proven I can make 140lbs I did my part.It was very hard to make 140lbs, I had to train 3 times a day, and I’m doing a documentary that will soon be online for you to see. In all the press I had to do for my last fight I couldn’t take my belt to show I’m champion. I was forbidden.”
