Alright, here we go. So, Cris Cyborg, right? She’s out there just doing her thing. Keeping busy like you wouldn’t believe. This time she’s hopping onto the Fight Night 3: San Jose event—it’s like, some big card, I suppose. And guess what? She’s not doing the usual MMA stuff this time—she’s diving into a boxing match. Yeah, a boxing match. Against someone named Precious Harris-McCray. Says she’ll be in the evening co-main event—brave or nuts, I’m not sure.
Now, Fight Night itself, that’s a hoot. Started by Scott Coker and Gilbert Melendez, a couple of, well, big names if you’re into the combat sports world. They’re trying something fresh with this, a bit over a year running now, and their event is set for May 17 at the Tech CU Arena— in San Jose, California. Can’t say I’ve been, but it sounds like a venue, doesn’t it? And at the top of the card, we’ve got Bobby Seronio III mixing it up with Lake Gee in what is supposed to be a bantamweight MMA showdown. Intrigued? I might be.
Cyborg, she gets all sentimental about San Jose. It’s like, “Whoa, that’s where it all happened,” for her, being the first-ever Strikeforce women’s featherweight champion when it was all women on TV fighting. Sounds monumental if you ask me. She’s got history with Coker, too. Like, history, history. Serious respect vibes going all around. And here she is, swinging back into the boxing ring for Fight Night with Gilbert Melendez hanging too. Her boxing journey is still afoot, it seems.
Oh, and her last boxing round was interesting. She had a showdown in Colombia back in March, wiped the floor basically in round three with Valentina Angarita. Just two weeks before that, she knocked out Karen Fernandes in the second round there. Busy like a bee, right?
Back in 2024, she had just one MMA fight—guess the boxing’s keeping her preoccupied. That one fight, at some PFL Super Fights thing, had her go all five rounds with someone named Larissa Pacheco. And hey, winning that was a big deal considering Larissa was a former two-division champion with the PFL. Now with a record standing at 28-2, chalk her up as one of the top female fighters ever. Titles from UFC, Bellator, Strikeforce, you name it. No clue when she’s diving back into MMA, but PFL seems to be the next landing pad or whatever you want to call it.
So, there’s that. Cyborg’s still got it all going, the strikes and all. Keeps me wondering, does she ever get tired?
