Former Strikeforce, Invicta FC, and UFC women’s featherweight champ Cris Cyborg makes her latest Bellator title defense next month.
Scott Coker told Ariel Helwani on The MMA Hour that Cyborg will take on Sinead Kavanagh in the main event of Bellator 271 on November 12th.
Cyborg (24-2, 1 NC) is a perfect 3-0 in Bellator after she left the UFC as a free agent in 2019. She immediately won Bellator’s women’s featherweight title by stopping Julia Budd in January, then defended the title with her first ever submission win over Arlene Blencowe. In her first appearance of 2021, Cyborg stopped Leslie Smith with just seconds left in the final round.
