Cyborg Retains PFL Title

Cris Cyborg picked up the 30th win of her career Saturday, retaining her PFL women's featherweight title with a unanimous decision over Ketlen Vieira, who missed weight by seven pounds: 49-46, 48-47 and 49-46.

Vieira gave Cyborg a tough night, stuffing an early takedown and drawing blood with strikes through the middle rounds as Cyborg pushed for takedowns and points. Vieira eventually got Cyborg down in round five, but Cyborg scrambled back to her feet with 90 seconds left and closed the round strong, arguably winning it with late aggression.

PFL had promoted the fight as a potential farewell for the 41-year-old veteran, but reports suggest Cyborg could still be lured back for the right offer — including a possible MMA bout with Ronda Rousey or a boxing match with Claressa Shields.
