Daily Debate results: Should Cris Cyborg stay with the UFC?
Former UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg is on the final fight of her contract heading into UFC 240. Should she sign a new deal with the promotion?
One of the sport’s all-time greats, Cyborg (20-2 MMA, 5-1 UFC) takes on Felicia Spencer (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) at Saturday’s UFC 240, which takes place at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta, Canada. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN and ESPN+.
It’s potentially a No. 1 contender fight, with the winner cleared to take on champ Amanda Nunes. But Cyborg has long had a contentious relationship with UFC president Dana White, who currently insists the Brazilian slugger isn’t interested in a rematch with Nunes.
Perhaps it’s all just negotiations, but it does leave us wondering what Cyborg should do next. So for our latest MMA Junkie Radio Daily Debate, we asked you to five is your thoughts.
