Chris Cyborg is not happy with her current situation in the UFC, as the fighter herself expressed dissatisfaction with the organization for not competing for the inaugural women's featherweight belt (up to 66kg), her home category. However, the Brazilian gained a reason to celebrate this Monday (19): Cyborg rose two positions and appears in 11th place on the weight-for-weight list, which includes athletes regardless of gender or category.
