Video: Cris Cyborg destroys latest boxing opponent in less than two minutes Much like her early MMA career, Cris Cyborg's boxing journey continues to provide one-sided results. Former UFC champion and current Bellator/PFL titleholder Cyborg had her third boxing match of the year on Saturday, this one at Fight Nights 3 in San Jose, Calif., promoted by Scott Coker and Gilbert Melendez. It was another short affair, with Cyborg advancing her professional boxing record to 5-0 by smashing Precious Harris-McCray, who fell to 4-2, with a TKO less than two minutes into the opening round of the 154-pound contest. Cyborg delivered her vintage aggressive approach to hurt Harris-McCray and force the stoppage. Check out the replay of the closing sequence below (via X): Prior to the fight, the 39-year-old Cyborg told MMA Junkie she is curious what she can do in the boxing world as she winds down her MMA journey. According to Cyborg, she intends to fight two more times under the PFL banner before hanging up her gloves, then will see what opportunities arise in boxing. Cyborg said she expects an announcement of a PFL title fight against Sara Collins later this year, sometime in the coming days.
