Early Life and Career

Cris Cyborg got into combat sports after getting discovered by Rudimar Fedrigo, who convinced her to enter the world of professional fighting.

Cris made her MMA debut in May 2005 at Showfight 2 against Erica Paes. She lost the fight in the first round via Kneebar submission. Cris bounced back from this loss and went on a 7-fight win streak that included a victory over Shayna Baszler before fighting Gina Carano for the inaugural Strikeforce Featherweight Championship in 2009.

Cyborg won the fight in the last seconds of the first round to become the first Strikeforce Featherweight Champion. Cris then defended the title against Marloes Coenen and Jan Finney. Cyborg then defended the title against Hiroko Yamanaka. However, Cyborg tested positive for stanozolol after her fight against Yamanaka and was stripped of her title and given a one-year suspension.

Cyborg returned in 2013 and signed at Invicta FC, where her debut fight was against Fiona Muxlow in a title-eliminator. She TKO'ed Fiona and went to fight Marloes Coene for the Inaugural Invicta FC Featherweight Championship. She defeated Marloes in the fifth round via TKO(punches and elbows) and became the inaugural champion. Cyborg defended her title three times before signing up with the UFC and then vacating the Invicta Championship
