The COVID-19 pandemic has affected people from all walks of life. The MMA community has not been an exception to this. Early last year, during the first wave of the pandemic, the MMA community lost a prominent figure in Abdulmanap Nurmagomedov, Khabib Nurmagomedov’s father and coach. To the dismay of fans, the virus has claimed the life of yet another prominent coach in Saul Soliz. Soliz’s long-time friend and associate, John Gomez, took to Facebook [https://www.facebook.com/jgomez0077/posts/10218837903321933] to share the news. He stated that Soliz passed away on Friday after “a long hard fight” with COVID-19. Jackson Says He Is a Fan of Conor McGregor [https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-conor-mcgregor-put-this-sport-on-the-map-ufc-legend-quinton-jackson-says-he-is-a-fan-of-conor-mcgregor/] The output of emotion and condolences from the MMA community has been massive. The likes of Michael Bisping, Adrian Yanez, Cris Cyborg all paid tribute to Soliz, who is also known as “The Godfather of Texas MMA.” TITO ORTIZ PENS AN EMOTIONAL MESSAGE FOR HIS COACH Former UFC champion Tito Ortiz, one of the many fighters under Soliz’s tutelage, shared his thoughts on social media. He said, “This morning around 2am we lost a father, a brother, a coach and one great amazing human being! I’m lost words……..I love you SAUL SOLIZ….. #F**KCOVID. Shame on those doctors!” Soliz, who trained Ortiz for a long time now, was also part of the team Ortiz staff on two installations of The Ultimate Fighter. In over two decades of being a coach, Soliz coached many UFC and Pride fighters. A list of his students includes all-time greats such as Tito Ortiz, Cris Cyborg [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cris-cyborg/], Quinton Jackson, and Mark Coleman. Legends such as Mark Kerr and Kevin Randleman were also under Soliz’s tutelage. Soliz is also the coach of upcoming bantamweights Adrian Yanez and Mana Martinez. Losing a coach is something that can affect fighters immensely. Unfortunately for Ortiz, the loss of his coach comes just a few weeks out from his fight against ‘The Spider’ Anderson Silva. As the fight will be Ortiz [https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Tito-Ortiz-158]’s debut as a professional boxer, ‘The Huntington Beach Bad Boy’ will be aiming to put on a show for his late coach. 

Former UFC champion, Tito Ortiz, pens an emotional message after the demise of
his long-time coach Saul Soliz earlier yesterday.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cris Cyborg 2021: Record, Net Worth, Salary and Endorsements</h2>
Cristiane Justino Venâncio was the most dominating figure in women's MMA history for more than a decade. She conquered the featherweight division in three different organizations and paved the way for the next generation of female fighters. Although Cyborg has two losses in her professional career, the only woman who has bested her skills per skill is Amanda Nunes. As of now, <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/cris-cyborg-joins-rival-bellator-mma-for-the-biggest-contract-in-womens-division/" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">Cyborg</a> is under contract with Bellator MMA.
<h2 style="text-align: center">Cris Cyborg: UFC Career</h2>
Cyborg started her UFC career at UFC 198 against Leslie Smith. She defeated her opponent via technical knockout to begin her UFC career with a bang. One of the best bouts of her career was when she won the featherweight championship after defeating Tonya Evinger.

She was also able to defeat Holly Holm and Yana Kunitskaya in her next two matches. Her only UFC defeat came after she went down to <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/amanda-nunes/">Amanda Nunes</a> at UFC 232. It was her first defeat since she lost her debut fight.

Her last UFC fight was against Felicia Spencer at UFC 240, where she won the bout via unanimous decision. She holds a <a href="http://ufcstats.com/fighter-details/634bb0de2eb043b4">6-1</a> UFC record.
