Cris Cyborg Has 2 Fights Left in Pro MMA Career<\/p>\n
During a recent edition of \u201cThe Catch Up With Cris Cyborg and James Lynch,\u201d<\/a> the PFL Super Fights Women\u2019s Featherweight Champion revealed when she first started thinking about retiring (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n \u201cThe reality is this decision has literally been (there) longer,\u201d Cyborg said in an interview with James Lynch. \u201cWhen I signed this current contract, we had already made the plan to finish the contract and retire, because we started the legacy tour when I fought against Larissa Pacheco. So I have two fights left, and I\u2019m ready for the next chapter. Some fighters will never know when to end. I just turned 40 years old, I feel great, but we have to know when it\u2019s time to stop.\u201d<\/p>\n While Cyborg doesn\u2019t know what will be in store for the final bout of her pro MMA career, she does have an idea of who her next opponent could be?<\/p>\n \u201cI like to do step by step,\u201d Cyborg said. \u201cMy next fight, I believe, is going to be Sara Collins. She\u2019s undefeated, she beat Leah McCourt, she\u2019s No. 1 in Australia, she fought girls at the top at 145 pounds. I believe she\u2019s going to be next, and I like to think about the next one.\u201d<\/p>\n Stick with BJPenn.com for the latest updates on the final chapter of Cyborg\u2019s fighting career.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Cris Cyborg Has 2 Fights Left in Pro MMA Career During a recent edition of \u201cThe Catch Up…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":968,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[444],"tags":[49,48,641,638,82],"class_list":["post-967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-mma","tag-ca","tag-canada","tag-fighting","tag-mma","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/ca\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
