The former featherweight champion, Cris Cyborg, has only one fight to fight on her current contract with the UFC (Ultimate Fighting Championship), she seeks to enter into a new contract with the promotion.
According to its director, Audie Attar, who told Ariel Helwani's MMA Show that Cris was hoping to return to work on May 11, UFC 237's pay-per-view event (PPV) will be held in his hometown of Curitiba in Brazil.
"We hope to reach a new agreement with the UFC, but time will tell if it will be achievable or not," said Attar (via ESPN). "We have not received any official combat offers but she would like to fight in her hometown. We had soft discussions about his next fight and his future. She would love to fight for the UFC. "
Cyborg had previously announced the abandonment of the promotion if the two sides failed to reach an agreement and even hinted that he would venture into the boxing world. But it seems like one of the most dominant fighters has ever tried to stay home for the foreseeable future.
"Cris Cyborg is one of the biggest draws at MMA. And that's a fact. Even during this last fight, she went there and did not fight and was caught, but it was still exciting to watch, "concluded Attar.
Last December, Cris suffered a first-round playoff loss to female bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes in UFC 232, her first loss in 13 years (highlights). Nevertheless, UFC has not officially announced its intention to create a women's featherweight division, although this does not seem to deter Cris.
That said, the ability of the UFC and Cyborg to enter into a new agreement could be a determining factor for the future of the weight clbad.
