Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg has continued to prove herself in the UFC, as she has gone 2-0, putting on spectacular performances as she has finished both Leslie Smith<\/a>, and most recently Swedish striking ace Lina Lansberg. Although she is now 2-0 inside the Octagon,<\/a> both fights have been at a catchweight of 140 pounds due to the fact that the UFC doesn’t have a women’s 145 pounds division.<\/p>\n

With that being said, Cyborg has continued to call for the UFC to create a women’s featherweight division, however UFC President Dana White has remained adamant that there simply aren’t enough female fighters competing at 145 pounds<\/a>, where Cyborg reigns in Invicta FC, to warrant creating an entire division in the UFC around her. Despite White’s comments, Cyborg has continued to campaign for the UFC to create a women’s featherweight division. <\/p>\n

When Dana White announced the news that former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey would be returning to the Octagon at UFC 207<\/a> to fight Amanda Nunes for the women’s bantamweight championship, he also announced that if Rousey emerges from her comeback fight victorious, she will then have a superfight with Cris Cyborg. <\/p>\n

During a recent appearance on The Ellen DeGeneres show this week, Rousey informed Ellen that her fight with Nunes could very well be one of her last in the Octagon<\/a> before stepping away from the sport permanently. <\/p>\n

\"Ronda<\/a><\/p>\n

That didn’t sit too well with Cyborg, who took to Twitter to react to the news:<\/p>\n

Ronda has been gone from mma for a year. And Ellen is the first interview she gives. That tells you where she is mentally #candyman<\/a><\/p>\n
