Joe Rogan Calls on UFC to Create 145 Division For Cris “Cyborg”
By FCF Staff
Dana White recently said the UFC has no short term plans to create a women’s 145 division, but commentator Joe Rogan is calling on the promotion to reconsider.
Cris “Cyborg” Justino took on Lina Lansberg last night in the main event of UFC FN 95, and she finished the latter in the second round. The bout was contested at 140 pounds, and came after days of speculation, as to whether Justino was going to make weight for the bout.
The latter is currently the 145 champion for Invicta FC, and “Cyborg’s” agonizing cut to 140 has been documented on two occasions now. In May, Justino fought Leslie Smith and stopped her in the opening round.
On Saturday, the following tweet appeared on Rogan’s Twitter feed:
.@ufc please open up a 145lbs division for @criscyborg. Her torturing herself to make 140 is insane and she's incredibly entertaining.
