Cris Cyborg is looking for a fight, but she does not plan on waiting around.
When the PFL announced its acquisition of Bellator MMA, it turned many heads within the MMA world. Most Bellator champions appeared to be on board with PFL founder Donn Davis and his vision. In fact, many of them were in attendance for the PFL 2023 championship event. There was one titleholder who wasnât ready to dive in headfirst, however, and that was Cris Cyborg.
Now, she is calling upon the PFL decision makers to get to work on her next fight.
Cris Cyborg, the Bellator womenâs featherweight champion, took to her Twitter account to warn the PFL that the clock is ticking on a champion vs. champion showdown with PFLâs 2023 womenâs featherweight winner Larissa Pacheco.
âJan, Feb, March, April, May, June.

@BellatorMMA
Can I get a fight booked during the first half of 2024?!
@PeteMurrayPFL
@DonnDavisPFL
The longer I sit without an MMA fight the less likely @lpacchec fight happens in 2024 @srjsports
My last MMA fight was Oct.â
Back when PFL first announced plans for champion vs. champion fights, Cris Cyborg expressed dismay with Donn Davis for making plans on her next bout without speaking with her first.
âAs I said last night⌠Lots of plans being made and announced. I have not had any contact with anyone from the @PFLMMA since news of the purchase. One thing I will control is how my career finishes.
âCompany culture and the way I am going to be treated as I finish the final fights of my career are a priority despite having two fighters call me out fight night. I was one of the few Bellator champions not to be contacted or invited to the show. Iâm financially at a point in my life that Iâm unwilling to enter into any toxic work environments. My mental health is too important
âI am excited to be boxing Jan 19th and after talks with my team have occurred will start to look at the options for my mma return.â

Cris Cyborgâs Patience With PFL Appears To Have Worn Out: âCan I Get A Fight Booked!?â
Cyborg is done waiting around for the PFL to book her for a fight.
Why did she rip off her ex husbandâs nickname?
Be Nice HFT
Still trying to get megan deported
Kayla ran from Cyborg, that was the big one that was being lined up.
The time is now for Cyborg vs Leslie Smith 3 under the bright lights of the PFL Smart Cage. All seven of the WFW âdivisionâ fans in the world demand this fight.
Kayla is moving to an actual division with enough fighters to create rankings. Cyborg is bitching about promoters like usual while she awaits her next fight with blown up FLWâs and BWâs.
Smith was fighting at FLW in Invicta and next thing you know Cyborg is debuting vs her in UFC. Then they pull Lansberg p from BW and she does not even have ten fights and she is fighting Cyborg at FW. Then Evinger and Kunistkaya are fighting each other in a pair of BW fights in Invicta and they magically become WFW title challengers for Cyborg on UFC PPVâs.
Kayla went to pursue an actual title in a functioning division with an actual talent pool.
PFL just got rid of their failed WLW and WFW divisions in the tournament format for a reason.
