Bellator women's featherweight champion Cristiane Justino, better known as Cris Cyborg, reacted to the words of undisputed middleweight boxing champion and PFL fighter Claressa Shields, who previously called the Brazilian her dream opponent.
Cyborg told MMA Junkie Radio:
I think it can be good. We can do one boxing and one MMA. I think it’ll be nice. I think the fans would like it. Much respect, Claressa is the GOAT in boxing. She’s the best in boxing but for me, it’s nice.
Cyborg, 38, last fought in October 2023 at Bellator 300, defeating Cat Zingano by technical knockout in the first round. She has 27 wins and two losses on her record.
