Cyborg postpones bantamweight debut
To help her case, Cyborg decided and announced that should we make her bantamweight debut this year in Invicta FC, but that has now been delayed.
For the last few years there has been a back and forth between Ronda Rousey, the UFC, and Cris Cyborg about a potential fight between the two. The big issue preventing this fight has been that Cyborg has always fought at featherweight and Rousey is now the bantamweight champion of the UFC.
To help her case, Cyborg decided and announced that she would make her bantamweight debut this year in Invicta FC, but that has now been delayed:
“I haven’t fought in a long time. With this injury, I believe the best option now will be fight in my division,” Cyborg told MMAFighting.com. “I can’t wait anymore, I need to fight. I’m the featherweight champion and Invicta FC needs me to defend my belt.”
Undefeated since 2005, Cyborg expects to get back in action in February.
“I believe I will be ready to fight in February. I’m slowly returning to training, so I won’t get injured again,” she said. “I’m swimming and doing physical therapy since I got back from Thailand. My physical therapist Ivan Carmosino will clear me to train soon.”
