Cristiane Justino Venâncio (born July 9, 1985), professionally recognized as Cris Cyborg and previously known as Cristiane Santos, is a Brazilian-American athlete competing in both mixed martial arts and professional boxing. She currently fights in the PFL and holds the distinction of being the inaugural PFL Super Fights Women's Featherweight Champion. Cyborg’s tenure in Bellator MMA saw her become the longest-serving and final Women’s Featherweight World Champion in that organization. Her career also includes championship reigns within the UFC, Strikeforce, and Invicta Fighting Championships featherweight categories, establishing her as the sole MMA competitor to achieve a Quintuple Championship by capturing world titles across five premier promotions. She is widely regarded as one of the most accomplished female mixed martial artists ever.
Cyborg gained significant attention after securing the Strikeforce featherweight title on August 15, 2009, with a first-round technical knockout over Gina Carano in what was the inaugural major women’s main event. Her professional journey features multiple title defenses and championship victories across leading MMA organizations, underscoring her dominance in the featherweight class and her considerable appeal within combat sports.
Early life
Born on July 9, 1985, in Curitiba to Brazilian parents, Cyborg grew up amid challenges including her parents’ divorce and her father’s battle with alcoholism. She embarked on an athletic path at age twelve, excelling nationally in handball throughout Brazil. Her achievements earned her several sports scholarships, which facilitated her pursuit of physical education studies in Curitiba, Paraná. Initially intending to continue a professional handball career in Cascavel, she was eventually introduced to combat sports by Rudimar Fedrigo from Chute Boxe Academy, who motivated her transition into martial arts.
Early career
At 19 years old, Justino made her professional MMA debut on May 17, 2005, at Showfight 2 facing Erica Paes, a multiple-time Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu world champion. Paes—who was notable for being the first female trainee at Brazilian Top Team, a rival gym to Chute Boxe—secured victory via submission in the opening round. This loss remained Cyborg’s only official defeat until 2018 when she was defeated by Amanda Nunes. While recorded as a kneebar submission, Cyborg’s camp asserts that she submitted due to an elbow injury.
Following this setback, Cyborg earned her initial MMA win against Vanessa Porto by unanimous decision and subsequently achieved three consecutive first-round TKO victories under Storm Samurai promotion, improving her record to 4-1.
Her U.S. debut took place on July 26, 2008, where she defeated Shayna Baszler by TKO in the second round at EliteXC: Unfinished Business. On October 4 of the same year, she secured a unanimous decision win over Yoko Takahashi at EliteXC: Heat.
Cyborg was slated to face Dutch submission expert Marloes Coenen at XMMA 7 on February 27, 2009; however, she withdrew after signing with Strikeforce. In that year, she earned a Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu Purple Belt under instructor Cristiano Marcello.
Strikeforce
Cyborg's contract with Strikeforce heightened the prospect of a notable matchup against Gina Carano. She made her Strikeforce debut on April 11, 2009, facing Hitomi Akano at Strikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz, despite coming in six pounds over the weight limit. Although Akano initially resisted, Cyborg secured a TKO win in the third round.
Before meeting Carano, Cyborg attracted media attention by showcasing her submission techniques during an interview. On August 15, 2009, at Strikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg, she captured the Women's Featherweight Championship with a TKO victory just before the conclusion of the opening round. This bout was significant as it was the first main event in a major promotion to feature female fighters. After the fight, Cyborg expressed admiration and felt honored to compete against Carano.
On January 30, 2010, she successfully defended her featherweight title against Dutch opponent Marloes Coenen, earning a TKO finish in the third round. Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker suggested Erin Toughill as her probable next challenger; however, Toughill's exit from the organization halted these plans.
Coker later confirmed that Cyborg would return to competition in June 2010. At Strikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum, she defeated Jan Finney by knockout in the second round. Cyborg's initial contract with Strikeforce expired on June 26, 2011, but she re-signed on August 25, 2011.
Doping violations and suspension
On September 23, 2011, Cyborg announced her comeback to face Hiroko Yamanaka at Strikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal scheduled for December 17, 2011. She achieved a TKO victory just sixteen seconds into round one; nevertheless, on January 6, 2012, she tested positive for the anabolic steroid stanozolol. Consequently, the bout was declared a no contest, and Cyborg received a one-year suspension along with a $2,500 fine.
Invicta Fighting Championships
Following Strikeforce’s closure in February 2013, Cyborg inked a multi-fight agreement with Invicta Fighting Championships. Initially slated to face Ediane Gomes at Invicta FC 5: Penne vs. Waterson, she instead fought Fiona Muxlow after Gomes withdrew due to injury, winning via first-round TKO.
Cyborg then rematched Marloes Coenen for the inaugural Invicta FC Featherweight Championship at Invicta FC 6: Coenen vs. Cyborg on July 13, 2013. She earned the championship with a fourth-round TKO, becoming Invicta’s first-ever featherweight titleholder.
Broadening her combat sports endeavors, Cyborg returned to Muay Thai competition at Lion Fight 11 in September 2013, defeating previously unbeaten Jennifer Colomb by TKO in the third round after Colomb replaced injured Martina Jindrova. However, at Lion Fight 14 in March 2014, she suffered a unanimous decision loss to Jorina Baars in their contest for the inaugural Lion Fight Women's Welterweight Championship.
In February 2015, Cyborg defended her Invicta Featherweight belt against Charmaine Tweet at Invicta FC 11, securing a first-round TKO victory in under sixty seconds. She followed this performance with another quick TKO win over Faith Van Duin at Invicta FC 13 in July of that year.
Ultimate Fighting Championship
In March 2015, Cyborg inked a contract with the UFC, making her debut at UFC 198 where she faced Leslie Smith in a 140-pound catchweight bout. She secured victory via TKO in the opening round.
Later, in September 2016 at UFC Fight Night 95, Cyborg competed against Lina Länsberg, achieving a second-round TKO win. In December of the same year, the UFC was alerted to a possible USADA doping infraction involving Cyborg, connected to a recovery agent used during her weight cut. By February 2017, she received a retroactive therapeutic use exemption (TUE), which lifted her suspension and permitted her to compete without delay.
In March 2017, Cyborg relinquished her Invicta featherweight championship and challenged Germaine de Randamie for the UFC featherweight title at UFC 214. De Randamie declined the bout, citing doping concerns, and consequently was stripped of the belt in June 2017. Cyborg was then scheduled to fight Megan Anderson for the vacant championship; however, Anderson withdrew and was replaced by Invicta FC Bantamweight Champion Tonya Evinger. Cyborg claimed her inaugural UFC title by defeating Evinger via TKO in the third round.
Cyborg successfully defended her belt against Holly Holm at UFC 219 in December 2017, winning by unanimous decision and earning her first Fight of the Night accolade. This bout marked the beginning of her new four-fight contract.
Her subsequent title defense occurred in March 2018 at UFC 222, where she defeated former Invicta bantamweight champion Yana Kunitskaya with a first-round TKO. To celebrate this victory, Cyborg donated 222 burgers to homeless individuals in Los Angeles.
On December 29, 2018, Cyborg challenged reigning UFC Women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes for the featherweight title at UFC 232. Nunes secured a knockout early in the first round, handing Cyborg her first knockout defeat.
Cyborg rebounded with a unanimous decision win over Felicia Spencer at UFC 240 on July 27, 2019. Following this last fight under her contract, UFC president Dana White announced that the organization would not renew her deal and waived her exclusive negotiation rights, allowing Cyborg to explore opportunities with other promotions.
Bellator MMA
On September 3, 2019, Cyborg signed a multi-fight agreement with Bellator MMA.
She challenged Julia Budd for the Bellator Women’s Featherweight Championship on January 25, 2020, at Bellator 238 in Inglewood, California, winning by technical knockout in the fourth round. For this bout, Cyborg prepared in South Africa alongside Richie Quan, Boyd Allen, and Martin Van Staden to enhance her overall skill set.
After capturing her fourth World Championship title, Cyborg expressed ambitions to pursue a boxing championship.
Her initial title defense took place against Arlene Blencowe at Bellator 249 on October 15, 2020, where she earned a second-round submission victory—the first submission win of her MMA career.
The second defense came versus Leslie Smith at Bellator 259 on May 21, 2021. They had previously faced each other at UFC 198 with Cyborg victorious by first-round TKO. She maintained her title by securing a late fifth-round TKO finish.
At Bellator 271 on November 12, 2021, Cyborg successfully defended her belt again by knocking out Sinead Kavanagh early in round one.
Her fourth defense was a rematch against Arlene Blencowe at Bellator 279 on April 23, 2022. Cyborg retained the championship via unanimous decision. The following summer marked her entry into free agency.
After an absence from MMA competition lasting seventeen months, Cyborg returned to defend her championship against Cat Zingano at Bellator 300 on October 7, 2023, winning by TKO in the first round.
Professional Fighters League
On October 19, 2024, at PFL Super Fights: Battle of the Giants, Cyborg competed against Larissa Pacheco, the reigning 2023 PFL Women's Featherweight Champion and 2022 Lightweight Champion, for the PFL Super Fights Women's Featherweight title. She secured victory through a unanimous decision.
Cyborg is slated to challenge Sara Collins for the PFL Featherweight World Championship on December 13, 2025, during PFL Europe 4.
Boxing career
Cyborg made her professional boxing debut on September 25, 2022, facing former Brazilian National Champion Simone Silva at Fight Music Show 2. Although Silva had recently suffered a knockout loss and was under suspension, the fight received approval after additional medical assessments. Cyborg emerged victorious by unanimous decision.
Her sophomore boxing bout took place on December 11, 2022, as part of the co-main event on the Terence Crawford vs. David Avanesyan card in Omaha, Nebraska. Cyborg knocked Holloway down and won by unanimous decision. This event set a Nebraska attendance record with 14,630 paid spectators.
On January 19, 2024, Cyborg recorded her first boxing stoppage via a first-round knockout against Kelsey Wickstrum. She followed this with a second-round knockout of Aria Wild on June 15, 2024.
Following her October 2024 triumph over Larissa Pacheco for the PFL Super Fights Women's Featherweight Championship, Cyborg returned to boxing on March 3, 2025, delivering a second-round knockout against Karen Fernandez. Seventeen days afterward, she achieved a third-round knockout over Valentina Angarita. On May 17, 2025, she secured her third consecutive knockout of that year by halting Precious Harris-McCray in round two.
Personal life
Cyborg was previously married to fellow MMA fighter Evangelista "Cyborg" Santos, from whom she adopted her nickname. Their relationship ended in December 2011. Since 2016, she has held naturalized U.S. citizenship. In 2017, she revealed her engagement to Ray Elbe, her longtime partner, trainer, and former MMA competitor.
In 2018, Cyborg legally adopted her teenage niece, becoming the first mother to simultaneously hold a UFC championship belt.
She actively supports Fight for the Forgotten, a charity led by Justin Wren that provides clean water to the Batwa. After achieving her initial submission victory in an MMA career spanning 26 fights, she was awarded her BJJ Black Belt by Rubens 'Cobrinha' Charles.
