Cris "Cyborg" Santos has been cleared for Friday's Invicta FC 11 event on UFC Fight Pass.
According to California State Athletic Commission Executive Director Andy Foster (via MMAFighting.com), Cyborg has passed two random drug tests administered by the commission into the event, so she'll be granted her license for Friday's card in Los Angeles.
Cyborg is returning to the cage for the first time since July of 2013, where she captured Invicta's Featherweight Championship with a win over Marloes Coenen. She faces Charmaine Tweet, who has won five of her last six fights.
Cyborg is trying to work her way to an eventual fight with Ronda Rousey - whom Tweet coincidentally enough fought in her MMA debut back in 2011 - and Friday's fight is the first of several steps for her to get there.
