Pump the brakes on talk of Cris Cyborg leaving the UFC.
The former UFC women’s 145-pound champion’s UFC deal is set to expire in March. In her last Octagon appearance, Cyborg was defeated for the first time in over a decade. After the fight, many questioned whether or not Cyborg would return to the UFC, especially with her contract expiring.
But Cyborg’s coach, Jason Parillo, shut those rumors down in a recent interview with MMAjunkie:
“We’re not going to leave the UFC,” Parillo said. “We’re going to stay there, plug away and get back the title that Cris had. She has the time and ability to do it.
“If we could get a fight between now and March, that would be wonderful, but I don’t know if that’s going to happen. The negotiations are obviously the manager’s job, and I just want the best for Cris.”
Cyborg was finished in just under a minute by 135-pound champion Amanda Nunes. She lost her featherweight title in the process. With the victory, Nunes became the first-ever female dual-weight champion in UFC history. After the fight, Cyborg called for a rematch with Nunes. That doesn’t seem very likely, as Nunes said she’d like to make her fellow countrywoman wait two years for a rematch.
UFC President Dana White doesn’t believe a rematch makes much sense. If she does, in fact, decide to leave the UFC, there are plenty of options for Cyborg. She could always pursue a career in boxing, which she has said interests her. Also, other promotions like Bellator or ONE Championship would be happy to add her to their roster.
It will be interesting to see how Cyborg’s situation plays out in the coming months.

“I saw Cris go out there and beat herself,” Parillo said. “I’ve said it in many interviews before, and it was always my biggest concern – which is her just going for broke, losing the plot and swinging wild. Just going back to old school Cyborg.
“Because I told her that the higher we climb the ladder, we’re not going to be able to get away with this style. We need to think a little bit more and stay behind the jab.”
Before her loss to Nunes, Cyborg hadn’t been defeated since her MMA debut in 2005. After that, Cyborg had established herself as the most dominant female fighter in the history of the sport. She went on to become the UFC’s first-ever female featherweight champion. Cyborg picked up the biggest win of her career in December of 2017, besting former bantamweight champion Holly Holm to defend her title at UFC 219.
However, her dominance was ended by Nunes in front of millions of fight fans watching around the world. Now, Cyborg is gunning for a rematch with her fellow countrywoman.
But it looks like that isn’t very likely to occur as of right now.

Cat Zingano plans on appealing her UFC 232 loss to Megan Anderson.
The pair matched up at UFC 232 in California before an awkward series of events ended the fight. A head kick from Anderson grazed Zingano’s eye, injuring her and impairing her ability to see. The referee did not immediately stop the bout because no rules had been broken. Therefore, after a few subsequent strikes, Anderson was awarded the TKO win.
Today (Mon. January 7, 2019), Zingano appeared on “Ariel Helwani’s MMA Show” wearing an eyepatch. She discussed her defeat to Anderson at UFC 232. “Alpha” revealed that her doctor disclosed to her she suffered iritis and retinal damage. However, she’s expected to make a full recovery (via ESPN):
“I really thought I lost my eye,” said Zingano.
Zingano also said she plans on continuing her fighting career, but currently has no timetable for her return. She’ll appeal her loss to Anderson due to the odd circumstances that led to the stoppage. With the loss, Zingano has now lost four of her last five fights inside the Octagon.
As for Anderson, this marked the first victory of her UFC career. She came up short in her promotional debut against ex-women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm at UFC 225 this past summer, losing via decision. Anderson is hoping to put together a resume worthy of a featherweight title shot, a division currently run by “champ c
