Cris Cyborg might just be the most dominate female fighter in the history of Combat Sports. An incredible 14 year unbeaten streak that was upset by another great of the sport in Amanda Nunes, Cyborg went on to rebuild her career defeating the #1 contender in the UFC featherweight division in Felicia Spencer before heading to Bellator MMA and capturing the Bellator MMA featherweight Championship.
19 years in the sport of MMA Cyborg is the only Grand Slam Champion in the sport with Strikeforce, Invicta, UFC, and Bellator MMA Championships already on her resume. Undefeated in Professional boxing, Cyborg is an ADCC medalist and a 2x IBJJ World Champion competing in the Gi while having also fought for the Muay Thai world Championship with Lion Fight.
While 39 years of age, Cyborg has brought in Female USA Wrestling icon Forrest Molinari and current ADCC Champion Rafaela Guedes into training camp as she prepares for the fight against 2x PFL Tournament champion Larissa Pacheco. Molinari is a year younger than Pacheco while Guedes is 2 years older.
When asked about being the underdog for the first time since her MMA fight against Gina Carano in 2009, Cyborg had this to say, “I always tell people that the entire time I have been a Champion I have trained like the number 1 contender. Every time step in to the cage it is like I am stepping in to fight for the other person’s belt. I am motivated by Pacheco being the betting favorite. It is driving me to train to my full potential. I’ve brought in younger, bigger, stronger girls who are the best in the world at wrestling and bjj and it has given me the confidence to know I am still an Old Savage. Saturday Oct. 19th I look forward to winning my 5th Promotional Championship and my 17th World Title Fight.”
Pacheco most notable win is over Kayla Harrison after suffering back-to-back losses to the UFC star previously.
