Cyborg's stunning UFC 198 weigh-in move

Cris "Cyborg" Justino has put the UFC world on notice at her weigh-in for Sunday's fight with Leslie Smith at UFC 198 in Brazil.

Cyborg had never previously been scheduled in the UFC due to her weight class at 145 pounds not being represented by the promotion.

Concessions were made to allow a 140 pound fight so she could finally make her Octagon debut.

Cyborg hit the scale at an amazing 139 pounds, with gasps and cheers audible from the watching crowd.

She cut an imposing figure as she moved into an intense stare down with her opponent.

If she can get past Smith, she could open the door to finally face longtime rival Ronda Rousey or former champion Holly Holm.

She says she intends to deal her a savage knockout should they finally meet.

"I'm going to KO Ronda. Yeah, for sure," Cyborg told TMZ.

"I don't hate her but I would like to fight her. We have history and it’s not finished. Like a soap opera.

"If she wants to make this fight happen, she can say, 'Dana (White), I want to fight Cyborg'. Of course Dana will make this fight happen.

"But it has to start with her. She doesn't want it. She's running."
