If you think Cris "Cyborg" Justino's Ultimate Fighting Championship career is just a one-fight deal, then you are wrong. Multiple reports confirmed that Cyborg's second UFC fight is all set.
Cyborg has been long linked to a possible showdown with former UFC women's bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. However, fans who are calling for the dream match will have to wait a bit longer.
UFC official confirmed to Fox Sports that Justino will headline a UFC Fight Night card on Sept. 24 in Brazil. The Brazilian mixed martial arts superstar will be going up against Lina Lansberg in a 140-pound match.
Justino continued her dominance with a first-round knockout win over Leslie Smith in her UFC debut in May, which was also staged in Brazil. Like Justino, Lansberg want to line herself among the top women's fighter in UFC. She has won in her last six fights, including four knockout victories.
Cyborg wants Rousey at UFC 205 in November
Cyborg recently called out Rousey for a match at UFC 205 in November. Justino said in a post on her Facebook account that she is still eager to slug it out with Rousey, who is considered as her biggest rival.
Justino reminded Rousey of her previous statements about the long-proposed super fight. Despite the fact that Rousey is not undefeated anymore, Cyborg said that she is still open to facing the former champion.
"There was a time in your life when you told people you wanted to fight me. Maybe you didn't quite understand the way the world worked then, but you also didn't care what anyone thought," Justino wrote. "I guess what I'm trying to tell you is that you don't need to be the champ to fight me."
Rousey has not fought since absorbing a second-round knockout loss to Holly Holm at UFC 193 in November last year. The 29-year-old previously admitted that she struggled to recover mentally after her devastating loss.
Rousey, who holds a 12-1 record, is also being linked to reigning UFC women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunez. Nunez recently called out Rousey but it remains to be seen whether or not she'll get her wish soon.
