Cris 'Cyborg' Justino vs. Faith Van Duin added to Invicta FC 13
Cristiane "Cyborg" Justino has her next opponent lined up, and unfortunately it's not Ronda Rousey.
Instead, the Invicta FC featherweight champion will look to unleash her terrifying brand of violence on Faith Van Duin when the two square off at Invicta FC 13 on July 9.
Seen as the only legitimate threat to Rousey's UFC bantamweight crown, Cyborg has laid waste to Invicta's 145-pound division since joining in 2013, racking up consecutive (and vicious) stoppage victories over Fiona Muxlow, Marloes Coenen, and Charmaine Tweet.
The 28-year-old Van Duin is 5-1 in her brief MMA career, notching a rear-naked choke victory over Amanda Bell during her promotional debut at Invicta FC 12 in April.
Cyborg will reportedly attempt to cut down to 135 pounds before the end of the year. If successful, she could face Rousey at some point in 2016.
