Now signed to UFC specifically to add fuel to the flames of those trying to make a Cyborg/Rousey fight happen, the 29 year old Cristiane Justino Venancio would be a bomb underneath the ass of the divas division. 5 foot 8 inches tall and currently weighing in at 145 pounds, Cyborg would comfortably outdistance most of the divas in size alone. Shes like a ripped Terminator Justino doesnt just beat her opponents, she flattens them, pulverises them. The current Invicta FC world featherweight champion is 13-1 in MMA and, like Cain Velasquez, has achieved 11 of her victories via knockout. At present, theres an ongoing issue surrounding any potential fight with Rousey: Justino would need to drop weight to 135 pounds to qualify for the class Rousey competes in, a feat that she says she can accomplish, but which might endanger her health. Rouseys hyping it for all shes worth, refusing to come up to Justinos weight or meet her halfway, and busting her balls over her 2012 suspension and fine for failing a drug test for steroids nonetheless, there are many that wonder whether such a fight will happen, and whether its worth damaging either fighters intimidating aura and reputation for such a payout. In WWE, Justino wouldnt have to worry about such a thing. WWEs attempted to push monsters in womens wrestling before, most notably with Luna Vachon, Chyna, Beth Phoenix and Kharma. Cyborg retains something of the characteristics of each. If WWE is serious about giving Divas a chance, the division needs new blood and credibility: and if there are two things that Justino is about, its blood and cred.
