Cris Cyborg’s 2nd UFC appearance will be a five-round main event, and it’s just a little over two weeks away. The reigning Invicta FC featherweight champion will face newcomer Lina Lansberg in a 140 lbs catchweight five-round headliner at UFC Fight Night 95 in Brasilia, Brazil. Cyborg’s UFC debut ended in a quick 1st round TKO of Leslie Smith back at UFC 198.
The co-main event features a featherweight clash between former bantamweight champion Renan Barao and Phillipe Nover, as Barao looks to end a two-fight losing streak. Roy Nelson takes on Bigfoot Silva in a heavyweight feature bout, which … yeah. No need to add anything else to that if you realize what the outcome is highly likely to be.
