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?

There were many people who thought former UFC lightweight champion Frankie Edgar is returning to action too early.
And you can add longtime UFC color commentator Joe Rogan and former fighter now analyst Yves Edwards to the list.
In the co-main event of UFC 222 event that went down March 3, 2018, on pay-per-view at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Brian Ortega scored a big victory over the former UFC lightweight champion.
Now, Edgar is making a quick turnaround as he is slated to fight Cub Swanson in the Octagon at the upcoming UFC Atlantic City event.
They spoke about the situation during the most recent edition of the “JRE MMA Show” podcast.
“I don’t like the fight,” Edwards said (transcript courtesy of MMA Junkie). “Frankie just got knocked out, and that’s really soon to come back. If anybody can bounce back from something like that, it’s a guy like Frankie, but I felt the same way about (Michael) Bisping fighting after – he didn’t get knocked out, he got dropped by Georges (St-Pierre) and then got choked unconscious — it’s like, ‘Yeah, you shouldn’t have taken that (Kelvin) Gastelum fight so soon.’ I feel that way about this fight.
“I feel like Frankie wants this fight so he can get that taste out of his mouth, but it’s still going to taste the same. Any time you go back and watch that fight you’re still going to have those feelings.
You’re going to win your next fight more than likely. You’re Frankie Edgar. You don’t have to rush it. Let your brain rest and recover.”
UFC Atlantic City is set to take place on April 21, 2018, at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, New Jersey.
The main card will air on FOX Sports 1 at while the preliminary card will be split broadcasted on FOX Sports 1 at and the promotion’s streaming service, UFC Fight Pass.
“The problem is it’s in Atlantic City, and he’s from New Jersey, and all the boys are going to come down,” Rogan said. “I’m with you 100 percent. I would like to see this fight, but I would like to see this fight in six months. It’s a good fight.”
“He fought Cub just a couple of years ago and just mauled him and got a last-second submission,” Rogan said. “Maybe he just thinks, ‘There’s not a (expletive) thing in the world this guy can do to stop me. I (expletive) him up before and I’ll (expletive) him up again. I’m not even going to get hit, I’m just going to get ahold of him and I’ll rag doll him just like I did before.’
But Cub Swanson can crack. He can crack. And he’s got a kid now, and he’s got a second kid along the way and he does not quit. That makes dudes hungry. That fight is probably a massive motivating factor for Cub Swanson.”
