Jully Poca vs. Cris Cyborg

Over five rounds, Cyborg recently defeated Larissa Pacheco to capture the PFL Super Fights championship and now she has set her aim for the boxer Jully Poca. On X, formerly Twitter, she said:

“Hey @MamsTayloryou still looking for an opponent for [Jully Poca]?! She said when I beat Pacheco she wanted to fight me next @MisfitsBoxing.”

Poca responded:

“19 years of career, 17 world belts and I’m so important in your life that the first thing you do after a victory is challenge me when I’ve only been training for 1 year and a half and have 5 fights? The right time will come, but it’s not now…”

Cris Cyborg tried to push Poca with trash-talk, she said:

“You’re the mosquito that needs to be taken care of…the annoying sound in my ear that needs to go away. You’ve been nothing but disrespectful but the nice thing about fighting is it solves everything…“

Jon Jones was very impressed with Cris Cyborg’s latest world title-winning performance over the weekend.

Making her Smart Cage debut at the PFL’s ‘Battle of The Giants’ pay-per-view event in Saudi Arabia, Cyborg entered her bout as the reigning Bellator featherweight champion. Following an entertaining 25-minute war with two-time PFL tournament winner Larissa Pacheco, Cyborg left as the first-ever PFL Super Fights champion, adding yet another piece of gold to her already impressive collection.

Her unanimous decision win over Pacheco garnered the attention of fighters and fans alike, including undisputed UFC heavyweight titleholder Jon Jones who shared his appreciation for Cyborg’s performance on Saturday night.

“I’m incredibly proud of Cris Cyborg right now. OG showing how it’s done,” Jones wrote on X.

Cyborg Responds to Jon Jones

Cyborg responded shortly after, calling ‘Bones’ the GOAT and thanking him for his kind words.

“Thank you Jon, you are the [goat emoji] and I appreciate this,” Cyborg replied.

With the win, Cyborg has not won 17 title fights over the last 15 years. Along the way, she’s captured gold in practically every major mixed martial arts organization, including Strikeforce, Invicta FC, UFC, Bellator, and PFL.

At 39 years old, it’s clear that Cyborg hasn’t lost a step inside the cage, but even she knows that eventually, she’ll have to lay down her gloves for good and call it a career. Sadly, it sounds like that may be sooner rather than later.

“It took a long time to fight,” Cyborg told reporters at the post-fight news conference. “My last time, I fought one year ago. I wanted to fight more times, for me to defend my title, because I want to complete 20 years in my career. This year is 19 and I want to go to my next chapter of my life and have a kid. Next plan, I’d like to defend my title as soon as possible.”
