CRIS ‘CYBORG’ JUSTINO improved her record to 16 – 1 with another dominant display to beat Sweden’s Lina Lansberg by TKO 2:29 into the second round at UFC Fight Night 95 in Brasilia last night.
The home favourite had to contend with incessant grappling from Lansberg early on, but her striking power soon told, most notably with a powerful straight right to open the Swede’s nose in the second round.

Heavyweight Roy Nelson was left upset at referee John McCarthy despite his second round TKO of Antonio ‘Bigfoot’ Silva. The American gave the official a gentle kick – more of a shove with his foot, really – as he knelt over Silva after stopping the contest, a move Nelson clearly felt should have been made sooner.
