Cyborg: I'll leave if UFC doesn't make a 145-pound women's division

Cris Cyborg is putting her foot down.

Arguably the greatest female fighter on the planet, the reigning Invicta FC featherweight champion wants to see the UFC implement a women's 145-pound division to go along with the bantamweight and strawweight roster. Cyborg told Spanish publication El Comercio that if the organization doesn't accommodate her, she's willing to walk away after she fulfills her current contract.

"The main thing is that I have two fights left in my division," Cyborg said, according to Danny Segura of MMA Fighting. "I'm going to stay in my division, and see if the UFC opens up my division, or if they don't do it, I'm going to leave."

Invicta has a working relationship with the UFC, so it was inevitable that Cyborg would eventually make a move to the Octagon. She has competed for the UFC twice this year after debuting in May, defeating Leslie Smith and Lana Lansberg by knockout.

In both of those fights, Cyborg was asked to cut down to 140 pounds to create a pair of catchweight bouts. The 31-year-old fighter has said that she will not put herself through that again and asked that the UFC's bantamweight stars move up a division to fight her or that the promotion simply create a proper featherweight division for her to compete in.

Cyborg is already looking at other promotions should the current situation remain the same.

"I'll keep fighting so that they open more divisions," Cyborg said. "If I don't have a division in the UFC, I'm going to go to another company like Rizin or Bellator or another organization where they have my division. I'll keep fighting for that."
