Amid continued displeasure with their booking, a host of PFL and Bellator MMA stars have called for their release from the promotions — with Cris Cyborg the latest in a long-list of fighters to weigh up their future, with the Brazilian urging UFC boss Dana White to broker a fight between her and Kayla Harrison.
Cyborg, a former undisputed UFC, Invicta FC, and Strikeforce MMA featherweight champion, retains the Bellator MMA crown and made her PFL debut back in October — winning a super fight championship in a unanimous decision win over Brazilian counterpart, Larissa Pacheco.
As for Harrison, the former two-time PFL lightweight tournament winner, made her sophomore Octagon outing at UFC 307 back in October, earning her second promotional win in a unanimous decision win of her own over Ketlen Vieira –following a prior rear-naked choke win over former bantamweight champion, Holly Holm in their UFC 300 clash earlier this annum.
