Former UFC Champion Cris Cyborg Visits WWE Performance Center
– ESPN’s Ariel Helwanie tweeted out a photo today showing former UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino visiting the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida. You can check out the photo of Cyborg as the WWE PC below.
Justino has hinted at going to WWE in the past, and she’s even suggested a “match” with former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey, currently the Raw women’s champion in WWE, in a WWE wrestling ring. Rousey and Justino had a longtime rivalry of sorts, but a matchup between the two on the MMA stage never panned out.
Regarding her Performance Center appearance, Justino commented to Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp, “Can you really call it a Royal Rumble if it didn’t have Cyborg Nation?”
