PFL MMA
Cris Cyborg scored yet another win to add to her legendary resume at PFL Tampa, but whether or not she has competed in MMA for the final time is a question that looms.
Cyborg defeated former UFC veteran Ketlen Vieira, who weighed in at seven pounds over the limit prior to Saturday’s bout. It was supposed to be a PFL Women’s Featherweight Championship fight, but it ended up being a non-title bout due to Vieira’s weigh-in miss. This is Cyborg’s 10th straight win, and she has gone unbeaten since suffering a first-round knockout loss to Amanda Nunes back in late 2018.
With PFL undergoing a major change amid the Most Valuable Promotions merger, Cyborg is taking the play it by ear approach. While retirement remains on the table, Cyborg told reporters during the PFL Tampa post-fight press conference that she will let the pieces fall into place before making a decision (h/t MMAJunkie).
“I want to take a little break and see what’s going to happen,” Cyborg said. “All this 21 years of training and all these things that happened in my life, it’s a learning process. Even today in this fight I learned a lot of things.
“Twenty-one years I’m at the top, titles on the line and in the main event. I’m very grateful. I’m excited for what the future can be. I am a fighter now, but I have a lot of plans for the future at just 41 years old. The 41 now is the new 21 years old.”
Cyborg simply can’t give a definitive answer at the moment, but she let it be known that she doesn’t feel like she’s aging even at 41.
“I don’t know if I’m going to have a fight again,” Cyborg said. “I’m 41 years old. … I wanted to 30 victories in my career. No woman did this. I’m very happy to have broken one more record.”
Do you think Cris Cyborg should wrap up her combat sports career, or should she keep going given her dominance outside UFC? Sound off in the comments below.
