Cris Cyborg is gearing up for her highly anticipated debut in the Professional Fighters League (PFL) on October 29, 2024, in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia. She will be facing the current women’s featherweight champion, Larissa Pacheco. Cyborg’s last fight was in October 2023 when she defeated Cat Zingano at Bellator 300. Pacheco, who is on a remarkable 10-fight winning streak, views the upcoming bout with Cyborg as a significant challenge that could greatly boost her career. Although Pacheco never imagined fighting Cyborg due to their different affiliations, he acknowledges that the match is now a reality. The fight is expected to showcase the striking abilities of both aggressive fighters. The pay-per-view event will also include a heavyweight clash between PFL champion Renan Ferreira and former UFC titleholder Francis Ngannou as Ngannou makes his debut in the promotion.
Pacheco is not interested in fighting Cyborg, as it was not a fight he had envisioned
