Last month it was announced that Cris ‘Cyborg’ Justino would be returning to the Invicta cage, but that won’t happen unless she passes a drug test:

Cris Cyborg must pass a random drug test before being allowed to compete at Invicta FC 11.

California State Athletic Commission executive director Andy Foster told MMAFighting.com that Cris “Cyborg” Justino was given a urine test Thursday morning as part of her process to get licensed to compete in the state. Foster expects the results to come back on or around Feb. 24. Justino’s main event bout against Charmaine Tweet is scheduled for Feb. 27 at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.
