Filed under: News , UFC , Videos As Cristiane Justino struggled to make weight for her 140-pound catchweight bout in the main event of UFC Fight Night 95 in Brasilia, Brazil, the MMA world looked on with uncommon sympathy. In this week’s Trading Shots, retired UFC and WEC fighter Danny Downes joins MMAjunkie columnist Ben Fowlkes to figure out why, and what it all means. Downes: Ben, last night Cris “Cyborg” Justino (17-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) added another TKO to her record when she finished Lina Lansberg (6-2 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in the second round. The result of the fight itself may have been a forgone conclusion, but the question lingering in the lead-up was whether or not she could make weight. In an appearance on “The MMA Hour” on Monday, Justino said she still needed to cut 24 pounds. That story dominated the headlines and discussion this week.
