By The Numbers: Cris Cyborg
No woman has accomplished more in mixed martial arts than Cristiane “Cris Cyborg” Justino.
The Brazilian berserker marched into 2025 with yet another title—the PFL super fights women’s featherweight championship—draped across her shoulder and designs on beefing up an already-historic resume. Justino finds herself on an eight-fight winning streak ahead of her latest campaign, having struck gold in the Professional Fighters League, Bellator MMA, Invicta Fighting Championships, Strikeforce and the Ultimate Fighting Championship. The superlatives long ago ran out, but if women’s MMA had a Mount Rushmore, her face would certainly appear on it.
