After testing free agency, Cris Cyborg made the decision to sign a new deal with Bellator and resume her run as the organization’s women’s featherweight champion.
According to a statement she released after news was announced of a new multi-fight deal, Cyborg (26-2 MMA, 5-0 BMMA) had a number of potential suitors for her services, but opted to stay put.
With notables such as Cat Zingano and Sara McMann waiting as fresh matchups for Cyborg, Bellator owns arguably the deepest roster of foes for the Brazilian, but perhaps not the most significant.
