Den forne UFC-mästarinnan Cristiane ”Cyborg” Justino har hittat ett nytt hem.
Under tisdagen meddelade Bellator MMA att man skrivit ett flermatchers-kontrakt med Cyborg.
I am proud to announce that @BellatorMMA has signed @CrisCyborg to the biggest contract in women’s MMA history.

Scott Coker, Bellators VD, var väldigt glad över att fått över brasilianskan till Bellator.
I have worked with countless athletes over my thirty-plus years of promoting combat sports, but there is no one quite like ‘Cyborg’. Her ability to excite the crowd from the moment she makes her walk to the cage is special, and having had the pleasure of promoting several of her fights in the past, I am looking forward to the opportunity of promoting her once again. ‘Cyborg’ is the most dominant female fighter in the history of the sport and she will be a perfect fit here at Bellator, where champion Julia Budd and the other women that make up best female featherweight division in the world have eagerly awaited her arrival
Cyborg som tävlade i UFC från 2016 fick inget förnyat kontrakt efter att ha gått sin sista match på sitt kontrakt under den gånga sommaren. Den 34-åriga brasilianskan förlorade sitt fjäderviktsbälte i december 2018 när hon knockades av Amanda Nunes i första ronden.
