Bellator MMA’s Cris Cyborg is one of the best MMA fighters the world has come across. Her dominant wins prove this. After cleaning the entire featherweight division, she is looking forward to facing someone new. Kayla Harrison, who has competed under PLF for the majority of her MMA career, is one of the best challenges for Cyborg. Harrison has never lost a single bout in her MMA career. Both the athletes have shown interest in facing each other. With Harrison being a free agent, this dream bout could possibly happen in the future. [https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200901143643/Cris-Cyborg-UFC.jpg] However, fans aren’t sure about what Harrison’s next move will be. Regardless of this uncertainty, Cyborg hopes to fight Harrison. Speaking about her rival, Cyborg said (h/t MMA Fighting [https://www.mmafighting.com/2021/11/24/22798469/cris-cyborg-kayla-harrison-copying-ronda-rousey-saying-my-name-bellator-ufc-pfl]), “I believe this fight with Kayla might happen, but I don’t believe she’ll leave PFL.” Cyborg feels that Harrison doesn’t have enough fans. She also hopes that the rivalry with Harrison does not end up like her rivalry with Ronda Rousey. Cyborg and Rousey were perfect to face each other but never fought. Speaking about Rousey, she said, “Rhonda never wanted this fight. In fact, Kayla is doing what Rhonda did. If you think about it, Rhonda started talking about me when I was the Strikeforce champion, trying to tarnish my image, trying to say a bunch of stuff, because people didn’t know who she was. And then people started to get to know who Rhonda was. And Kayla is going down the same path.” Fans hope to see this exciting fight materialize. People would love to see who emerges as the winner. WHAT DOES CRIS CYBORG THINK ABOUT KAYLA HARRISON’S FIGHTING? Cyborg [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/cris-cyborg/] feels Rousey’s judo was more menacing than Harrison’s. Rhonda believed in finishing her opponents and hence, she would have been a much threatening fighter to face in the cage.

She feels that her bout with Harrison will be possible only if the American fighter chooses legacy over money. Cyborg said, “Do you want to fight the best to do you just fight for money? Or do you want to leave a legacy?” [https://www.staging.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Cris-Cyborg-UFC-214-Workout-Scrum.jpg] MMA fans all over the world are eager to see both of them clash.

<h2 style="text-align: center;">History</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bellator MMA is one of the world's largest mixed martial arts promotions and is recognised as the closest competitor to the UFC. The term Bellator has its origin in Latin language which translates to 'warrior' in English.</span>

Bjorn Rebney founded the company in 2008 and ran it until 2014, before departing and handing the reins to Scott Coker. <span style="font-weight: 400;">Presently, the company has successfully hosted 242 numbered events. </span>
<h2><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-257245" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/20200425201918/cokr.jpg" alt="Scott Coker" width="1200" height="675" /></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">The former Strikeforce executive made the move after his contract with Zuffa expired. Following Coker’s arrival, Bellator MMA pivoted to a more traditional North American approach to the sport. This is a </span><a href="https://www.si.com/mma/2014/09/04/scott-coker-bellator-format-changing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">departure</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> from the organization's tournament format during its initial phase. </span>
<h2>Bellator's tournament format</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bellator MMA has played host to a variety of tournaments under its older format, with 11 seasons of Bellator Fighting Championship held in 4 years from 2009 to 2014. The tournaments saw fighters of specific weight classes compete for a shot at the divisional title. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Also in 2013, the promotion aired a single-season series called </span><a href="https://www.mmafighting.com/2013/4/23/4257460/bellator-books-june-19-summer-series-start-with-king-mo-reality-show"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Fight Master: Bellator MMA</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> where Randy Couture, Frank Shamrock, Greg Jackson, and Joe Warren served as coaches. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Like all American martial arts organizations, the rules for fights in the Bellator promotion are exactly the same with eye gouges and groin strikes deemed as illegal offenses for which fighters can incur point penalties or be disqualified. </span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Along with MMA, Bellator has a kickboxing promotion which has hosted 12 events since its </span><a href="http://www.bellator.com/articles/43lpt8/scott-coker-launches-bellator-kickboxing"><span style="font-weight: 400;">inception</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> in 2016.</span>
<h2>Some big names who are part of Bellator MMA</h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">At present, the company is home to some of the biggest MMA names including former UFC Champions like Cris Cyborg, Frank Mir, and Lyoto Machida. Current Bellator Champions include Ryan Bader, Douglas Lima, Patricio Freire, and Ilima-Lei Macfarlane. Additionally, the promotion is home to big names such as Fedor Emelianenko, Gegard Mousasi, and Cat Zingano.</span>

<span style="font-weight: 400;">Currently, there are 7 divisions for male fighters in Bellator. These are heavyweight, light heavyweight, middleweight, welterweight, lightweight, featherweight and bantamweight. The promotion offers 2 divisions for its female talent at Featherweight and flyweight. </span>
<h2><b>List of Champions at Bellator MMA</b></h2>
<span style="font-weight: 400;">Bellator MMA has 5 </span><a href="http://www.bellator.com/fighters"><span style="font-weight: 400;">world champions</span></a><span style="font-weight: 400;"> across 9 divisions. 2 fighters are double champions and 2 divisional titles are vacant at present. </span>

<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.

<h2 style="text-align: center">Cris Cyborg: Achievements</h2>
Early in her career, Cyborg fought in Strikeforce, where she beat Gina Carano to become the Strikeforce featherweight champion. However, after a couple of title defenses in Strikeforce, Cyborg made her debut in Invicta FC, where she defeated Marloes Coenen to be the Invicta featherweight champion.



After conquering two different organizations, Cyborg finally made her UFC debut in 2016. She would defeat Tonya Evinger to be the UFC featherweight champion in 2017. She holds a stellar record of <a href="https://www.sherdog.com/fighter/Cristiane-Justino-14477">23-2-0, 1 NC</a> in her MMA career. The fighter has claimed one Fight of the Night bonus in the UFC.
