6. She'll Gain Wider Notoriety
Those well versed in MMA will be undoubtedly aware of how efficient and progressive "Cyborg" is. Fundamentally she is untouchable at her full weight of 145 pounds; blitzing through endless competitors included a remarkable bout with Gina Carano in which she KO'd the Fast & Furious star in the first round. However, as Dana quite correctly states, UFC is the fastest growing sport in the world. With this in mind, there are plenty of fans who adore watching Rousey, but are somewhat clueless to Justino. Despite making endless mockeries of her competitors - particularly Alexis Davis who suffered a brutal KO after a mere 16 seconds inside the Octagon, and Cat Zingano who fell into her devastating Armbar in a fractional 14 seconds - audiences remember them. Sure it isn't the greatest representation of such a fighter, but it widens the opportunity for further exploration; be that past or future. "Cyborg" would likely give 'Rowdy' a hell of a fight, and even if she did get endlessly beaten, she'd boost her steps up the notoriety ladder by a significant number.
