Cris Cyborg gets set to fight 2x PFL Tournament Champion Larissa Pacheco as the Co Main event of the PFL Pay Per View Super Fight Series alongside Francis Ngannou and Renan Ferreira. Cyborg who is entering her 19th year of professional fighting will be facing one of her toughest opponents in recent memory when she battles Pacheco in Riyadh Saudi Arabia.
Pacheco who has won her last 10 MMA fights, with 7 of those victories coming via 1st round KO is nearly 10 years younger than Cris Cyborg and is the betting favorite. This is the first time in her career that Cris Cyborg has been an underdog. Cyborg is currently riding her own undefeated streak as she has won her last 7 professional MMA fights. Having last defeated Cat Zingano at Bellator 300 in MMA, Cyborg has won 2 consecutive Boxing bouts while waiting for the Pacheco fight to be made.
Also on the PFL Super Fight PPV card is Francis Ngannou making his return to MMA after a 3 year hiatus from the sport. While Ngannou has had Professional Boxing fights against Tyson Fury and Anthony Johshua, this is his first Mixed Martial Arts bout since leaving the UFC as their Heavyweight Champion.
