September 22, 2016 | Posted by Larry Csonka

– Cris Cyborg Justino on UFC tonight and spoke about her preparation for this weekend’s fight with Lina Lansberg and more. Here are the highlights…

Cyborg on her weight cut: “I’m getting down. It’ll be ok.”

On being asked annoying questions: “First it was always about Ronda and now I get asked about the weight. Both are annoying.”

On her weight cutting struggles: “This time we used birth control. I hold more water, and have less time to make 140. I think it’ll be ok. I trust George Lockhart. I hope everything will be ok on Friday.”

On fighting Lansberg: “She’s coming from striking. This match is good because I like striking too.”

On if fighting for a title is still important: “For me, the belt is important, but it’s more nice making super fights for all fans to watch.”

On if she’ll ever fight Ronda Rousey: “Before when she was the champion she said she wanted to fight me. She said come to 135. Maybe we can fight at 140. You can’t be selfish. This fight is not for me and her, it’s for all the fans. All the fans are waiting for her.”
