Cris Cyborg challenged Amanda Nunes to try and save UFC 332, but the veteran's next step may be far from MMA. After defeating Ketlen Vieira in her last fight under her PFL contract, the Brazilian left her future open. Now, however, a new possibility has emerged in bare-knuckle boxing.
The possibility gained strength after American Christine Ferea, after having her arm raised at BKFC 92, held last Saturday (30), challenged Cyborg to a confrontation in the organization run by Conor McGregor . The request seems to have pleased both the Irish star and his partner and president of BKFC, David Feldman.

“I wasn’t (thinking about it), but I think it’s something we can definitely do. I think it’s something we can consider. It’s funny because Conor texted me early Sunday morning and said, ‘Who did she challenge? Cris, Cris, Cris Cyborg ? Wow, that would be a great fight. Let’s do this, Dave. Let’s do it.’ He was excited about the idea and so am I,” Feldman said in an interview with MMA Junkie.
Considered one of the greatest MMA fighters of all time, Cris Cyborg , at 41 years old, has 30 wins and only two losses in her record. Furthermore, the Brazilian remains undefeated in professional boxing, with six victories in that discipline.
If she accepts the challenge, Cyborg will face a more experienced opponent in bare-knuckle boxing. Christine Ferea has accumulated 12 wins and only one loss in her career in the Bare Knuckle Fighting Championship.
