2. Seismic knockout power
All you have to do is take one brief glance at her record to know that she is a devastating striker. She hasn't lost a bout since her professional debut over a decade ago. Since then, she has been on the rampage, racking up 10-straight knockouts in a row, albeit her KO of Hiroko Yamanaka was overturned to a No Contest after Cyborg tested positive for anabolic steroid stanazolol.
If you're worried about the PED use, USADA's new iron fist approach to drug testing should ensure that, should Cyborg take any of those "special vitamins" Kimbo Slice has been advocating recently, it will be sniffed out. Just ask her compatriot Claudia Gadelha about how hard-nosed those testers can be.
3. Electric atmosphere
UFC 198 goes down in the Arena da Baixada, a 40,000-seater soccer stadium in Curitiba AKA Cyborg's hometown. Anyone who's ever watched a Brazilian UFC card will know that the fans really get behind their fighter.
Often that means creating a very menacing atmosphere for the non-Brazilian opponents. There are few things more intimidating than a horde of impassioned fans screaming "uh vai morrer" which directly translates to "you're going to die".
Expect a rapturous reception for the hometown heroine, and the exact opposite for Johnny Foreigner, Leslie Smith.

4. Post-fight interview
Joe Rogan really landed himself in Cyborg's bad books when comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made an insensitive joke about her on his podcast. Hinchcliffe said, "she's the only person who cuts weight by chopping off her dick."
Rogan has since taken full responsibility and apologised for the gag, but that came after Cyborg slammed the UFC colour commentator for bullying her. Cyborg recounted receiving a phone call from her father in Brazil, who was in tears over the comments.
That Octagon interview may be awkward.
5. The press conference
If you thought what Rogan did was bad (bearing in mind, he didn't even make the joke) you'll be floored by some of the insults Dana White has aimed at Cyborg. Most famously, the UFC president joked that Justino resembled "Wanderlei Silva in a dress" at the 2014 MMA awards, before proceeding to do a crude impersonation of her walk.
It will be interesting to see what White will have to say if he's behind the mic for the post-fight presser.

6. The future?
As we've already addressed, the issue of making weight was the main obstacle standing between Cyborg and the UFC. She already had a lot of weight to cut to get down to 145, but there is currently no female featherweight division in the UFC.
If she makes it down to 140 lb with relative ease, she may be persuaded to make that extra effort, reconfigure her body shape by losing that extra muscle and cut down to 135. It's extremely difficult, but if she truly wanted to, she could make it down to bantamweight, instantly adding a new contender into the mix.
Rather than build a new featherweight division around Cyborg (which is feasible), adding the Brazilian to a division which already boasts talent like Tate, Holm, Cat Zingano, Amanda Nunes, Julianna Pena, Valentina Shevchenko and maybe even her old nemesis Rousey would generate more interest for a division that has been steadily gathering momentum over the last 12 months.
