Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino Stop us if you’ve heard this one before: “Cyborg” is a massive, massive favorite in her upcoming fight. Earlier this week, officials announced Cristiane Justino (15-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC), the reigning Invicta FC featherweight champion and a former Strikeforce titleholder, will fight bantamweight Leslie Smith (8-6-1 MMA, 2-2 UFC) in a 140-pound catchweight fight at UFC 198. The pay-per-view event, which takes place at Arena da Baixada in Curitiba, Parana, Brazil, marks the long-awaited promotional debut of “Cyborg.” The 30-year-old Brazilian is riding a 15-fight winning streak with 13 knockout victories, and like many of her recent bouts, she’s a substantial favorite heading into her UFC debut against 33-year-old Smith, who’s on a 2-1 run following a recent decision victory over Rin Nakai. Justino has opened as an approximate 11-1 (9/1000) favorite at the sports books, according to oddshark.com and bestfightodds.com .
