With the exception of one minute this past December, Cris Cyborg has dominated every fight she’s been in for more than a decade as one of the best known female fighters in the sport’s history.
While there will always be questions, related to physique, with the 2011 drug test failure for the steroid Stanazolol opening up obvious questions and debates, she’s also been heavily tested for years since, and continued to run through the competition.
After Saturday’s win over Felicia Spencer, Cyborg (21-2, 1 no-contest) could face the top female fighter in the world, double weight class champion Amanda Nunes (18-4) in what would be the biggest fight that could be made today, regardless of division, in women’s MMA.
