Curitiba-native Cris Cyborg wants to fight at UFC’s first trip to her homeland.
Scheduled for the 42,000-seat Atletico Paranaense soccer stadium on May 14, UFC 198 will be headlined by Fabricio Werdum vs. Stipe Miocic, and the Invicta FC featherweight champion is campaigning for a sport on the card.
"I’m training, waiting for a new challenge," Cyborg told MMAFighting.com via text message," and I would like to thank to everyone who is in this campaign with me #CyborgNoUFCBrasil."
Cyborg (15-1, 1 NC) last fought on Jan. 16, scoring her fifth straight knockout finish under the Invicta FC banner with a first-round win over Daria Ibragimova to defend her 145-pound title.
