Invicta FC champ 'Cyborg' Justino up to 163.8 pounds for tonight's headliner


A little more than a half day after weighing in at 144.6 pounds for tonight’s Invicta FC 15 event, featherweight champion Cristiane Justino has rehydrated and gained 19.2 pounds.

“Cyborg” recently posted a video showing her weighing 163.8 pounds, roughly 13 percent of her weight on Friday (via Instagram).

Justino (14-1) meets Russian submission specialist Daria Ibragimova (9-1) in tonight’s UFC Fight Pass-streamed main event, which takes place at The Hangar at OC Fair and Event Center in Costa Mesa, Calif. The champ is a massive 22-1 favorite.

Justino, a longtime featherweight, had previously flirted with the idea of moving down in weight for a potential bout with Ronda Rousey (12-1 MMA, 6-1 UFC). However, with Rousey’s recent title loss to Holly Holm (10-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC) at UFC 193, “Cyborg” will remain at featherweight, though she told MMAFighting.com she’d consider a catchweight bout with Holm.

The full Invicta FC 15 weigh-in results included:

  • Champ Cristiane Justino (144.6) vs. Daria Ibragimova (143.7) – for featherweight title
  • Champ Livia Renata Souza (113.9) vs. DeAnna Bennett (114.6) – for strawweight title
