Former UFC featherweight champion spotted at WWE Performance Center
Cris Cyborg was recently spotted at the WWE Performance Center in Orlando, Florida.
While there’s no news as to whether this was an official visit, with the Ronda Rousey vs Becky Lynch WrestleMania main event on the horizon, the photo has definitely caused buzz given Cyborg’s previous encounters with both women.

Cyborg is not the first UFC fighter to be seen on WWE grounds. Most recently former UFC fighter, Eric Spicely, was seen at a WWE tryout. Spicely was mentioned as a standout in an article published by the organization. Former UFC heavyweight champion, Cain Velasquez, was also seen training at the Center recently.
Although Cyborg lost her championship to Amanda Nunes at UFC 232, Justino has often been linked to WWE over the past years through Mick Foley, who has been lobbying for her to be signed with the company. There are known issues between Cyborg and Rousey, however, if Cyborg is considering the transition to WWE, then she could be part some big rivalries in the future.
