Invicta FC Champ Cris Cyborg Crushes Jennifer Colomb in Lion Fight 11 Muay Thai Bout

Posted on by

Recognized as one of the top female fighters on the planet for her exploits in mixed martial arts, Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg Justino on Friday night stepped into the Lion Fight ring to put her pure Muay Thai skills on display.

Fighting at the Freemont Street Experience in Las Vegas at Lion Fight 11, Cyborg stepped into the ring with a single professional Muay Thai fight on her record. She squared up against French champion Jennifer Colomb, who entered the fight 10-0 with all 10 victories coming by way of knockout.

The fight was utter domination by Cyborg.

As she often does in MMA, Cyborg stormed her opponent with aggression, letting Colomb immediately feel the power in her punches and the relentlessness of her attacks.

Cyborg only increased her pace as the fight wore on, mixing in a wide variety of punches, kicks, knees, and elbows. As Cyborg began landing kicks high and low in the second round, Colomb had no answer. She looked confused and hesitant.

Cyborg took full advantage, adding insult to injury with an ever-wider array of attacks, landing a spinning hook kick and then driving Colomb into the corner with a front push kick before mauling her with punch combinations.

The end couldnt have come soon enough for Colomb. And it did come, mercifully, at the 54-second mark of the third round, when Cyborg folded her over with a crushing right hand to Colombs ribs. The referee immediately stepped in and waved off the fight.

It was an impressive performance and could lead to future Muay Thai exploits for the Invicta champ.

Hey why not? I train every day, said Cyborg when asked if she would fight Muay Thai again. If its for a belt for sure I come back.

Her next fight, however, will be in a cage.

MMA Stars Cyborg and Cosmo Alexandre Talk Training Muay Thai for Lion Fight 11

Posted on by

Lion Fight Promotions held its pre-fight press conference outside The D Hotel and Casino on Fremont Street in Las Vegas to promote the Lion Fight 11 card taking place on Friday, Sept. 20. MMA fans will be familiar with two of the headlining names: Invicta's Featherweight Champion Cris "Cyborg" Justino and Blackzillian's Bellator product, Cosmo Alexandre.

Both "Cyborg" and Alexandre were asked about the difference in training Muay Thai, as compared to MMA.

"You know when you're [training] for MMA you train a lot of things," Justino said. "You train boxing, jiu-jitsu, Muay Thai. When you train for Muay Thai [fight], you train only one thing. It is not easy, but you can make your focus only one sport."

Alexandre admitted that the grind of daily training in Muay Thai can be tough, but made it clear he prefers the stand-up sport overall.

"I think when you fight for a long time, and you have been doing this for a while, the hardest thing to do is train. When I train MMA it's fun for me now. When I train Muay Thai I know what I [will be doing] every day. You run, bags, clinch. Every day [is] the same thing. For me [training] is the hardest thing to do now. It is hard to keep focused. But for the fight, of course I prefer to fight Muay Thai. On Friday night I want to show a good fight. I do not want to come to the fight out of shape."

When asked about taking a Muay Thai bout while still under contract for MMA, Cyborg responded that her preference was simply to stay active.

"I think I can have more motivation to keep training every day. I like to fight. I like more fights per year. I don't want one fight per year, so I'll fight Muay Thai and MMA. I think it is a good for mea good experience for me. I can stay busy and have work every day."

"Cyborg" had originally been set to take on Martina Jindrova before a neck injury forced the Czech fighter to bow out. Lion Fight was able to sign Jennifer Colomb of France to take the fight on short notice.

'Cyborg' wants Rousey fight for fans, has 'nothing personal against her'

Posted on by

While some believe there is a long-running blood feud between Invicta FC champion Cristiane Justino and UFC champion Ronda Rousey, "Cyborg" insists the relationship isn't personal: She just wants to give the fans the fight they want to see.

"I don't have anything personal against her," Justino told MMAjunkie.com Radio. "She talks stuff about me, and I think all the time she's talking about me. I don't know if she loves me, but I don't have nothing personal. I think everything is professional."

The rivalry between the two high-level female fighters began years ago when Justino (12-1 MMA) and Rousey (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) were the respective featherweight and bantamweight champions of the now-defunct Strikeforce organization.

There has since been a lot of talk about putting together the potential matchup, but the sticking point has always been what weight class the bout would be contested under.

Rousey has been firm in her stance that since she is the champion of the bigger company, Justino should accommodate her by dropping down to 135 pounds.

Unfortunately, the Brazilian says the additional 10-pound weight cut is not physically plausible.

"I'm very heavy and my bones are heavy and I try to make 135, but I think it's very difficult for me," Justino said. "I think 145 is very hard. Always when I make 145 I say, 'Why?' It's very difficult for me to make 145 and I said, 'If Ronda wants to fight me she can make 140 and go up and I'll go down five pounds."

Even when the idea of a catchweight affair has been brought up in the past, Rousey hasn't appeared interested, as she wants Justino to drop the weight so their fight could be for the UFC championship.

While a title fight would be the ideal situation in terms of promotion, Justino said it shouldn't determine whether or not the bout takes place because ultimately she just wants to put together what would arguably be the biggest women's MMA fight ever belt or no belt.

"I don't care about the belt in the UFC, I care about the fight," Justino said. "I think everybody wants to see the fight. I'm the champion of Invicta now. I don't care. But I think the fans want to watch this fight, and I think it would be very exciting."

Get 25% Upside With This 'Cyborg In The Operating Room'

Even after the tech-craze and bubble of the '90s, technological leaps still change our lives drastically and offer the most compelling cases for amazing profits.

After researching stocks for my recent series on the "Graying of America," I was well aware of the demographic forces behind the health care industry.

The numbers forecast for the health care industry over the next decade are staggering. Total U.S. health care spending is projected to reach $4.8 trillion in 2021, 84% higher than current spending. More than 10,000 baby boomers turn 65 each day, and life expectancy has reached 79 years. These drivers are going to create a lot of opportunities in the sector, and technology is just beginning to play a part.

That is why I am so excited about one company in particular -- one I like to call the cyborg of the operating room.

Da Vinci Meets 'The Terminator' Long recovery times and hospital stays associated with major surgery are a big contributor to the high cost of health care. The average hospital stay after invasive surgery is up to seven days, with the average cost per day approaching $4,000 in many states.

And the recovery time after hospitalization can take weeks because the only way to do many of these operations is to open up the patient, which leaves the patient at risk of infection and other complications.

That is, until this company invented a revolutionary new machine, one that combines the art of a surgeon's scalpel with 21st-century robotics.

Enter Intuitive Surgical (Nasdaq: ISRG) and Da Vinci, a robotic arm that allows surgeons to operate with just a single incision less than an inch in size.

Surgeons no longer need to remove organs to perform an operation, so recovery time is shortened, sometimes to as little as one day. Research has also shown that surgeries using Da Vinci have a lower risk of complications and lower incidence of infection.

There were 2.6 million procedures done last year that could have used the Da Vinci technology, but only 450,000 were done using the apparatus. That amounts to 17% penetration of a market with some strong demographic growth drivers ahead.

Cristiane 'Cyborg' Justino gets new opponent for Friday's Lion Fight 11

Posted on by

Invicta FC featherweight champion Cristiane Justino has a new opponent for her muay Thai fight at Friday's Lion Fight 11 event.

Renowned kickboxing champion Martina Jindrov is injured, and undefeated Jennifer Colomb has stepped in as a replacement and will fight "Cyborg," officials confirmed with MMAjunkie.com.

The event takes place at Third Street at the Stage Fremont Street Experience in Las Vegas, and the main card airs on AXS TV.

"Martina Jindrova had to pull out on short notice due to injury, and fortunately we were able to sign Jennifer Colomb and get her to Las Vegas to take on Cyborg," Lion Fight CEO Scott Kent stated. "We wish Martina well and hope she recovers quickly. We also thank Team Colomb for working with Lion Fight to give our fans this incredible fight Friday night between two female muay Thai champions."

Colomb, who hails from France, is 10-0 with 10 knockouts. Jindrov sported a 17-5 record.

Justino, a former Strikeforce champion who's 12-1 in MMA, won Invicta's inaugural 145-pound title in July when she stopped Marloes Coenen in the fourth round. Although she hopes to get in a title defense before year's end, the Brazilian has stayed busy with jiu-jitsu competitions, and now she's added a muay Thai bout to her to-do list.

"I am disappointed that Martina got injured and had to withdraw, but I have trained very hard and am grateful that Jennifer Colomb has stepped up," Justino stated. "Nothing changes. I am ready and will bring it to Colomb on Friday night."

"Cyborg" has not lost an MMA fight since her pro debut in 2005. Since then, 10 of her 12 wins have been by knockout or TKO. She also won her lone pro kickboxing match by knockout in 2006.
