Count it four successful Bellator MMA featherweight title defences for Brazilian veteran, Cris Cyborg — who successfully defeats challenger, Arlene Blencowe for the second time in her career, rounding out a Bellator 279 card in Honolulu, Hawaii with a unanimous decision (49-45, 49-45, 49-45) victory.

Cris Cyborg, who most recently dispatched Dublin native, Sinead Kavanagh back in November of last year in her last appearance in the Bellator cage, secured her first successful defense of the featherweight crown with an October 2020 submission win over Australian contender, Blencowe.

Standing and trading with Blencowe for almost the entire 25 minute limit of tonight’s headliner in Hawaii, Cyborg dropped Blencowe with a massive straight right hand in the opening round, before landing an illegal knee to a downed Blencowe, resulting in a one-point deduction against the Curitiba native.

Bloodying and battering Blencowe from there on out for the remainder of the headlining contest, Cyborg listed a trio of potential next opponents for her as her reign as Bellator queen continues — including contender, Cat Zingano, former foe, Amanda Nunes, as well las the undefeated PFL lightweight best, Kayla Harrison.

Bellator mega star Cris Cyborg will put her featherweight title on the line for the first time in October as part of Bellator’s move to a new broadcast home, CBS Sports Network.

Cyborg (22-2) will headline Bellator 249 on a special Thursday night event against challenger Arlene Blencowe (13-7) the promotion announced today at a special news conference.

CBS Sports Network will be Bellator’s new broadcast home, which will be an exciting opportunity for the Bellator roster.

The new broadcast partnership will start two weeks prior to Cyborgs first title defense on Oct. 1 with a Thursday event in Italy.

Cyborg won the 145-pound title in January when she took out longtime champion Julia Budd with a fourth-round TKO at Bellator 238 in her debut fight with the promotion. She was considered the best women’s fighter on the planet at one point before her loss to Amanda Nunes in the UFC.

After defeating Felicia Spencer in her last UFC fight, they failed to renegotiate a new contract and the promotion let her leave for Bellator as a free agent.

Blencowe, the Australian will have her second shot at a Bellator title after being a winner of 3 straight. It will certainly be a great matchup between two of the sports best.

Do you think Cris Cryborg will retain her title in October?
