Twenty-six year old Cyborg returns from an extended layoff, looking to prove that she's still the undisputed pound-for-pound queen of female Mixed Martial Arts.
Photography extraordinaire Scott Hirano was at The Arena Gym in San Diego, California, to cover Cyborg's final preparations to what could easily be the toughest test of her career. As always, don't forget to follow Scott Hirano on Twitter @ScottHirano.

Wow good for her I had no idea she was fighting, not much promotion for it. She is just to big, and to dominant really sucks for her.
It's all nice and good that she can fight but what happend with Marloes Coenen? and the rest of the Golden Glory team? They all got cut for no good reason
I mean, fighters like Marloes Coenen helped to build up Strikeforce to become what it was before it was sold to Zuffa. And suddenly after contract differences the whole team got cut?
fantastic fighter. but she looks like a girl version of wanderlei silva.
She's one of the nicest fighters you could ever meet, Evangelista too.
Question for everybody: Would you go for it?
she looks like Big Nog, dude...
F*CK MAN
u are one sick dude man
I think shes morphing into Wanderlei
She's a fighter...devoted to Her discipline ....your comments show no respect.
For her age she has the coarse facial lines, big jaw and nose and skin seen in acromegaly - human growth hormone excess.
Or just roids one of the two. Keep in mind about 1/3 of the physical changes someone goes through taking anabolics stay after you quit. Its normal for those who quit to keep a 1/3 of their mass they achieved through its use. In other words, the cromagnon faces they grow, stays!
