BKFC and PFL MMA

Much has been made about Cris Cyborg’s next move, but if she wants to continue throwing hands, BKFC appears to have open arms.

Cyborg recently competed in the main event of PFL Tampa. She took on fellow ex-UFC veteran Ketlen Vieira, who missed weight by seven pounds. Cyborg won the fight via unanimous decision, but the PFL Women’s Featherweight Champion did not commit to retirement.

While Cyborg isn’t sure whether or not she’s done with prizefighting, one ambitious BKFC fighter said she’d welcome Cyborg for a bare-knuckle clash. That fighter was Cristine Ferea, and BKFC president David Feldman told MMAJunkie that Conor McGregor is quite intrigued by the thought of such a matchup.

“I wasn’t but I think it’s something we definitely can do,” Feldman said. “I think it’s something we can float out there. It’s funny because Conor messaged me early in the morning on Sunday and he was like, ‘Who’d she call out? Cris, Cris, Cris Cyborg? Oh, that’s a great fight. Let’s do that one, Dave. Let’s do that.’ He was excited about it and I’m excited about it.

“Cristine Ferea, there’s not a lot of people who can put up a challenge to her. For Cris Cyborg, standing up, there’s not a lot of people who can put up a challenge for her. That would be a great fight: two people that are known and two people who really want to stand out there and bang and give their all there. I definitely think that’s something you could possible see down the road.”

Recently, Cyborg hinted at being involved with Scott Coker’s new MMA promotion in some capacity. Whether she’d be an active fighter for the upcoming promotion or if she’d be working with the company outside of competition remains to be seen.
