'Cyborg' posts pic of 'Brazilian curves,' unsure she can make 135 with 'Brazilian bootay'

Cristiane Justino might not have scientific evidence that it’s impossible for her to make 135 pounds, but she’s offering up some visual evidence if you’re interested in giving her the eyeball test.

Justino (13-1), of course, is the current Invicta FC featherweight champion. She’s also generally considered one of the only women on the planet with a shot at beating UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (11-0 MMA, 5-0 UFC).

Of course, the two women currently compete in different weight classes, and “Rowdy” has made it clear she’s not interested in doing any favors for the Brazilian slugger and moving up a division for what would unquestionably be the biggest fight in the history of women’s MMA.

Instead, UFC officials have made it clear that if Justino wants the chance to challenge Rousey, she’ll need to make 135 pounds in a fight outside of the promotion. At that point, she’ll be welcomed into the octagon for a showdown with the champ.

But the 5-foot-8 Justino has also made it clear she’s not certain it’s physically possible for her to get that low, leaving some doubt as to whether that matchup will ever actually happen.

Justino is currently working with “performance nutrition consultant” George Lockhart in hopes of making the cut down to bantamweight. Time will tell whether or not the efforts net the intended result. In the meantime, Justino seems content to keep her “brazilian bootay,” at least for spring break.

Justino is expected to compete again this summer under the Invicta FC banner. Meanwhile, Rousey returns to action on Aug. 1, when she meets Bethe Correia in the main event of UFC 190.
