There are few better problems for a fighter to have than a lack of compelling opponents. That’s the problem facing Bellator women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg as she heads into her Bellator 271 main event against Sinead Kavanagh on Friday night in Hollywood, Florida.
After a successful UFC career that saw her compile a 6-1 record in the Octagon, Cyborg made her Bellator debut in January 2020, scoring a TKO of Julia Budd to win the featherweight title. The win gave Cyborg the unique accomplishment of having held championships in Strikeforce, Invicta, UFC, and Bellator.
Cyborg has successfully defended her championship twice, submitting Arlene Blencowe in the second round and battering Leslie Smith for nearly five full rounds before a TKO in the final 10 seconds of the bout.
Now, Cyborg faces Kavanagh, a fighter who enters her championship opportunity riding a two-fight winning streak. Those wins, a TKO of Olga Rubin and a decision over Katharina Lehner, got Kavanagh back on track after a rough 2-4 start to her Bellator career.

This is one of the most dominant women to ever fight in the sport against a woman who has a .500 record in Bellator. Cyborg will cruise in this one. Pick: Cris Cyborg via TKO3
