Cris Cyborg v Lina Lansberg: What just happened.

Our main event of UFC Fight Night 95: seen Cris 'Cyborg' make her main event debut under the UFC banner against Swede Muay Thai expert Lina Lansberg. 'Cyborg' had a torrid weight cut to make the catch weight limit of 140lbs, weighing almost 20lbs higher than the limit as late as Tuesday, due to the non existent UFC Women's Featherweight division. Lansberg made her way into the lions den knowing that Justino is the biggest challenge she has ever faced, booes rang around the area, similar to when Ronda Rousey defended her UFC Women's Bantamweight title against Brazil native Bethe Correia in Brazil, while 'Cyborg' looking as calm and composed as ever as she looked to build on her dominant career.

Mario Yamasaki got us underway in the first of five scheduled rounds, with Cris closing the distance early and taking it to the fence. Justino landed three decent knees to the body on the outside against the fence. Justino landed some big shots from the break and then immediately engaged in another clinch and looked to land some more of those punishing knees to the body. Mario Yamasaki separated the fighters before the pair clinched once more. Justino landed a power double leg takedown and punished Lansberg form the top with strikes. Lansberg survived but the clinch was their once again for 'Cyborg'. Justino then landed some devastating strikes, but Lansbeg managed to survive to see the second round against the Invicta queen.

The second round began with one unbelievable strikes and kicks from Justino as Lansberg showed her resilience to survive. Justino landed another takedown, this time an outside trip for the Brazilian and then pounded from half guard. 'Cyborg' continued to dish out punishment which left Mario Yamasaki no choice but to step in and stop the one sided contest.
