Cris Cyborg continued to blitz through opponents in her transition to boxing Saturday with another big finish.
The former UFC and current Bellator women’s featherweight champion Cyborg (27-2 MMA, 6-0 BMMA) took on the unheralded and seemingly overmatched Aria Wild in London, and the power that been a cornerstone of her career was once again on display.
Cyborg, 38, landed a clean shot in the second round of the contest, and Wild crashed to the canvas.

Prior to her victory, Cyborg told MMA Junkie Radio she intended to return to MMA this year for either a super fight with two-time PFL champion Larissa Pacheco, or a potential Bellator title defense against top contender Leah McCourt.
A potential boxing match with Claressa Shields has also been a constant subject of discussion, too, and Cyborg once again sent a message to the undefeated Olympic gold medalist (via X):
4-0 and I’ve already got more KO’s than Claressa Shields who’s had about 100 boxing fights 😂 pic.twitter.com/eSZUBr8GKH
