Cris Cyborg has collected a championship in nearly each main promotion – besides ONE.
Cyborg (28-2), a former UFC, Bellator, Strikeforce, and Invicta FC champion, claimed the PFL superfights girls’s featherweight title when she defeated Larissa Pacheco in October. May she add a sixth belt beneath the ONE Championship banner? Vp Wealthy Franklin thinks the promotion would definitely entertain that concept.
“I feel this can be a Chatri (Sityodtong) dialog. Chatri and Matt Hume, as a result of Matt Hume is head of competitors, however I feel that’s undoubtedly a dialog that they might not less than be interested by having,” Franklin advised MMA Junkie Radio. “It’s not a type of issues the place it’s like, ‘No, we’re not interested by that.’ That’s one thing that will for positive intrigue them,
“And I say that as a result of as a fan, I’d personally be intrigued. If I used to be exterior this group, I’d be keen to look at and say, ‘Oh, can Cyborg seize … she’s making her approach up the ranks in ONE Championship.’ I’d be keen to look at that as a fan. So, I feel that’s one thing that they might undoubtedly be open to having a dialog about.”
Nonetheless, in MMA, ONE Championship doesn’t at present have a girls’s featherweight division for Cyborg to compete in. Cyborg has predominantly competed at 145 kilos all through her profession and holds notable wins over Gina Carano, Holly Holm, Julia Budd, Cat Zingano, and Pacheco.
