Filed under: Featured Videos , News , UFC , Videos BRASILIA, Brazil – Lina Lansberg might be coming in as a big underdog against Cristiane Justino , but it’s hard to question the Swedish fighter’s killer instincts. Set to make her UFC debut against Justino (16-1 MMA, 1-0 UFC) on Sept. 24 at UFC Fight Night 95, Lansberg (6-1 MMA, 0-0 UFC) said she had absolutely no hesitation before accepting the scrap against the Invicta FC featherweight champion at an agreed-upon weight (140 pounds) five pounds heavier than her own. Venturing into enemy territory for a big-league debut – against the intimidating “Cyborg,” no less – is, to put it lightly, a challenge. But then again, Lansberg has been known to revel in those.
