Cris ‘Cyborg’ is set to leave the UFC unless her weight class of 145 pounds is added to the organisation.

Cyborg made her UFC debut in March of this year and has since fought twice for the company, and both times have been outside her weight class and at a catchweight of 140 pounds. It’s been widely documented that Cyborg has to use extremely harsh methods to make the weight cut to 140 pounds, with footage of her crying and even collapsing during the brutal cut.

‘Cyborg’ has revealed to Peruvian news outlet El Comerico that she only has two fights left on her UFC contract, and plans to leave if they don’t open up the 145lb division “The main thing is that I have two fights left. I’m going to stay in my division, and see if the UFC opens up my division, or if they don’t do it, I’m going to leave.”

She reveals plans to move to Rizin FF or Bellator “I’ll keep fighting so that they open more divisions,” Cyborg said. “If I don’t have a division in the UFC, I’m going to go to another company like Rizin or Bellator or another organization where they have my division. I’ll keep fighting for that.”

We last seen Cyborg compete back in September at UFC Fight Night 95, where she defeated Lina Lansberg via second-round technical knockout. She tells us when we can expect to see her fight again “I don’t know yet, probably next year. In February, I’ll be available to fight. I’m ready for whoever at 145 pounds.”
