Cris Cyborg is very close to signing with a new promotion just weeks after being released from the UFC.

Although things ended poorly for her, she says she has no regrets about her time in the UFC and how things were handled.

“Everything I did, I was always feeling in my heart. I don’t regret anything. ” Cyborg said on her YouTube channel (h/t MMA Fighting). “[The UFC] is in the past. It’s in the past since my last fight. I put it in the past in my heart, I believe I made a lot in the UFC, II believe I’m one of the girls who fought in the UFC who has more wins than losses.

I believe all places I’ve been had something special in it. With the UFC, I wanted to be fighting in the UFC. I went through all the hard time cutting weight to make my division and they made it. Amanda is the champion, there is a division. Every moment of my life I start a project and the UFC project was to have my division. I put an effort to get down to the division, I made it, and there is a division now.”

Meanwhile, now that she is a free agent, there is no doubt massive interest for Cris Cyborg. Promotions like Bellator and PFL has shown interest in her and the Brazilian now plans on signing soon.

“I believe I’ll sign my new contract in less than 30 days,” Cyborg said. “I’ll be online to tell everybody about my new place where Cyborg will be welcome. I have to thank Dana for sending me a letter two days after my win. It really helped me to negotiate.

“I’ll be back to Brazil soon, for sure. It’s part of my plan for the new contract I sign and I am very happy.”

Ultimately, Cyborg is just happy with the promotion she has picked. She will get to fight more and only strengthen her brand.

“When I ended my cycle with the UFC, I had two choices,” Cyborg said. “The option I chose, where I am now is the option where I see my future grow. I’ll be fighting more times a year, I won’t have any trouble, I’ll be happy. That’s what I see.”

What promotion do you think Cris Cyborg will sign with?

Cris Cyborg is the talk of the mixed martial arts (MMA) community as of late.

The former featherweight champion was recently released from the UFC after some comments by President Dana White. Now, everyone seems to be interested in inking the Brazilian legend to a deal. The Professional Fighters League (PFL) would certainly have some interest.

PFL commentator and former UFC star Yves Edwards discussed the possibility of Cyborg coming to the PFL in a recent interview with MMA Junkie. As for why Cyborg should consider the move, Edwards said the motivation is simple – the $1 million prize.

“Hey, you want to make a million dollars?” Edwards said. “That’s pretty much all you have to say to Cris Cyborg.”

Another interesting aspect about Cyborg going to the PFL would be a potential matchup with Kayla Harrison. The two-time Olympic gold medalist in judo has made it clear she wants to fight Cyborg eventually. With the PFL having the appeal of both Harrison and a lightweight division for women, it all makes sense.

“Sarah Kaufman is probably the biggest test for Kayla Harrison right now, and Sarah Kaufman is a true 135-pounder,” Edwards said. “She definitely has the skill set. And then Cris Cyborg – Kayla has come a long way in a short amount of time, but Cyborg would definitely have the experience edge.

“And that would be an uphill battle for a lot of women in the PFL, simply because the women haven’t had their division for as long as the men have. They haven’t been competing for as long as Cris Cyborg has and at the highest level. Cris has so much experience. She would definitely come in and be the favorite, even over Kayla Harrison.

“So Cris, if you want to make a million dollars, and we’re doing the women’s lightweight division again next year, she should definitely think about it. But that’s what my offer would be for her: ‘Would you like to make a million dollars?’”

What do you think about Cyborg potentially going to the PFL?
