Invicta matchmaker Kedzie on 'Cyborg' at 135: I don't know 'if she can sustain it'

Recently retired fighter and new Invicta FC matchmaker Julie Kedzie really hopes the organization’s 145-pound champion, Cristiane Justino, can make 135 pounds. She’s just not sure if “Cyborg” can sustain it.

“She has a large frame, and it’s a very muscular frame, and she has very, very low body fat, so she will have to give up a bit of muscle, I think, to make 135,” Kedzie recently told MMAjunkie. “Now, can she make it? I think she can. Can she sustain it? I don’t know. We’ll have to find out.”

Justino (12-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) won the Invicta 145-pound title in July, but Kedzie believes there are more intriguing options at 135. Most notably? UFC women’s bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey (9-0 MMA, 3-0 UFC), whom “Cyborg” has long targeted. After initially saying it’d never happen, UFC President Dana White has even left open the door for a possible UFC deal for Justino.

How would that fight play out? And where does Kedzie’s training partner, former pro boxer Holly Holm (who said she looks forward to fighting Rousey) fit into the picture? Check out the above video.
