The waiting game is over for the Bellator women’s featherweight division.
Champion Cris Cyborg has re-signed with the promotion in what Bellator called an “exclusive, multi-fight contract,” and one it said in a news release was an “historic” deal. Terms were not disclosed.
Cyborg (26-2 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) most recently fought a little more than a year ago with a unanimous decision title defense against Arlene Blencowe at Bellator 279. But after her contract was up, she decided to explore free agency. The months-long process had Bellator president Scott Coker regularly asked for Cyborg’s status, and he continually said he was hopeful she would be back in the fold.
