Cris Cyborg scored yet another win to add to her legendary resume at PFL Tampa, but whether or not she has competed in MMA for the final time is a question that looms.<\/p>\n

Cyborg defeated former UFC veteran Ketlen Vieira, who weighed in at seven pounds over the limit prior to Saturday\u2019s bout. It was supposed to be a PFL Women\u2019s Featherweight Championship fight, but it ended up being a non-title bout due to Vieira\u2019s weigh-in miss. This is Cyborg\u2019s 10th straight win, and she has gone unbeaten since suffering a first-round knockout loss to Amanda Nunes back in late 2018.<\/p>\n

With PFL undergoing a major change amid the Most Valuable Promotions merger<\/a>, Cyborg is taking the play it by ear approach. While retirement remains on the table, Cyborg told reporters during the PFL Tampa post-fight press conference that she will let the pieces fall into place before making a decision (h\/t MMAJunkie<\/a>).<\/p>\n

\u201cI want to take a little break and see what\u2019s going to happen,\u201d Cyborg said. \u201cAll this 21 years of training and all these things that happened in my life, it\u2019s a learning process. Even today in this fight I learned a lot of things.<\/p>\n

\u201cTwenty-one years I\u2019m at the top, titles on the line and in the main event. I\u2019m very grateful. I\u2019m excited for what the future can be. I am a fighter now, but I have a lot of plans for the future at just 41 years old. The 41 now is the new 21 years old.\u201d<\/p>\n

Cyborg simply can\u2019t give a definitive answer at the moment, but she let it be known that she doesn\u2019t feel like she\u2019s aging even at 41.<\/p>\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know if I\u2019m going to have a fight again,\u201d Cyborg said. \u201cI\u2019m 41 years old. \u2026 I wanted to 30 victories in my career. No woman did this. I\u2019m very happy to have broken one more record.\u201d<\/p>\n
