Top 5: Fighters on the Rise at PFL Lyon
Opportunity could not knock any louder for Sara Collins.
The undefeated Australian judoka will put her perfect 6-0 record on the line when she faces Cristiane “Cris Cyborg” Justino for the inaugural Professional Fighters League women’s featherweight title in the PFL Lyon co-headliner on Saturday at LDLC Arena in Lyon, France. Collins, 35, returns to the stage after a 455-day layoff. She last suited up on Sept. 14, 2024, when she put away Leah McCourt with a rear-naked choke in the first round of their confrontation under the Bellator MMA banner. Activity has been an issue for Collins, who has yet to fight more than twice in a calendar year. Now, she stares down the chance of a lifetime.
