Cris Cyborg: Legacy, Motherhood, and Retirement
Saudi Arabia’s Riyadh Known for her strength, tenacity, and supremacy in the mixed martial arts community, Cris Cyborg is nearing the end of her remarkable career. After almost 20 years in the sport, Cyborg (27-2) has made hints that her fighting career may be coming to an end. She talked candidly about her future, her legacy, and her wish to embrace motherhood—a new role outside the cage—after her historic victory at PFL: Battle of the Giants.
Reflecting on the Future After a Historic Victory
Speaking calmly but resolutely, Cris Cyborg hinted that her fighting career would not last much past her 20th anniversary in the sport during the press conference that followed her five-round bout. According to Cris Cyborg, “It took a long time to fight,” “I haven’t fought in a year. Because I want to finish my career after 20 years, I wanted to fight more and defend my championship more often. I want to start a new chapter in my life and have a child after I turn 19 this year. The next strategy is to quickly protect my championship.
For Cris Cyborg, this was not simply another triumph; it was yet another noteworthy turning point in her illustrious career. She proudly displays her PFL Super Fights title next to her UFC, Bellator, Strikeforce, and Invicta titles after defeating Larissa Pacheco in a five-round unanimous decision. Her unwavering quest for greatness is demonstrated by her accomplishment, which puts her in an unrivaled category of fighters who have attained multi-promotional success.
Cris Cyborg paused to consider the significance of her accomplishments when asked which of her career-defining moments stood out the most. “Everyone is really hard for me,” she admitted. However, this one was particularly noteworthy since, at 39, I’m still vying for the crown. It means a lot to me at 39 to win the PFL title belt.
Beyond the belts she has accumulated, Cris Cyborg has left a lasting impact. She has reinvented what it means to be a champion across several organizations and motivated a new generation of female warriors. Her versatility in many promotions, like as Bellator, the UFC, and now the Professional Fighters League (PFL), demonstrates her capacity to succeed in any setting.
The choice to shift from fighting to parenthood, however, is indicative of a higher goal—one that transcends the cage. Having children is something Cyborg has previously mentioned, and as she approaches her 20th year in mixed martial arts, she is making it a priority. For a woman who has dedicated her life to the sport, motherhood—a vocation that demands love, strength, and patience—seems like a natural fit.
A New Chapter: From the Cage to Motherhood
As Cyborg has stated in previous interviews, “Being a fighter is part of who I am, but so is the desire to start a family.” “I’ve always known that I would leave the cage to concentrate on my personal life when the time came. Now it seems closer.
The path to her last bout seems clear now that she has won the PFL. After she reaches the 20-year mark, fans are left wondering: Will she emerge victorious? If this is the case, her legacy is solidified not only as one of the best fighters in history but also as a representation of tenacity, changing objectives, and eventually, progress.
From her earliest years in Brazil to her current status as one of the world’s most feared and esteemed fighters, Cris Cyborg’s journey has been a journey filled with milestones and emotions. She has had difficulties and been questioned, but she has also overcome each difficulty. It feels natural and inevitable for her to move into a new stage of her life. Although her concentration has changed, the fire within her is still unquenchable.
Her next fight, whether it be to defend her title again or to start a family, will undoubtedly be motivated by the same enthusiasm that has made her an MMA legend, as the sports world watches.
The Final Fight? Fans Left Wondering
