Cristiane Justino Venâncio[6] (born July 9, 1985), known professionally asCris Cyborg and formerly by her married nameCristiane Santos, is a Brazilian-American professionalmixed martial artist andprofessional boxer who competes in theProfessional Fighters League (PFL), where she is the current and inauguralPFL Women's Featherweight World Champion. She formerly competed inBellator MMA where she was the longest reigning and lastWomen’s Featherweight World Champion.[7] She is also a formerUFC,Strikeforce andInvicta FC World Featherweight Champion.[8][9] She is the only MMA fighter in history to become aQuintuple Champion, holding world championships across five major MMA promotions.[10] Cyborg is widely regarded as one of the greatest female mixed martial artists of all time.[11]
Cyborg first rose to prominence when she won the Strikeforce title on August 15, 2009, by defeatingGina Carano via first-round technical knock-out (TKO) in the first ever major main event to feature women.[12][13][14]
Cyborg was born on July 9, 1985, inCuritiba to Brazilian parents. A daughter of divorced parents and a father who had problems with alcoholism, Cyborg started her sports career at the age of twelve, playinghandball at a national level in Brazil. Due to her success in the sport, she won numerous athletic scholarships on private universities after her high school graduation, and eventually chose to pursue the path of physical education in the capital ofParaná,Curitiba.[15] Later, she planned to move to the city ofCascavel to become a professional handball player and finish her college studies there, before being discovered by Rudimar Fedrigo, a Chute Boxe Academy trainer who was impressed by her physical size and advised her to enter the world of fighting.[16][17]
I was participating in a friendly handball tournament between men and women and one of the boys, called Jorginho, was a friend of Mestre Rafael and Mestre Rudimar. He saw me training handball and asked me if I liked fighting. I replied that I thought it was cool, but I had never done it. He invited me to take a Muay Thai class and I liked it!
— Cris Cyborg about the beginnings of her fighting career
Justino, without yet incorporating the nickname "Cyborg", made her professional debut in mixed martial arts at the age of 19 on May 17, 2005, at Showfight 2 against multiple time world BJJ champion Erica Paes. Paes, who was five years her senior, was the first woman to train at the legendaryBrazilian Top Team academy, a rival gym of theChute Boxe gym where Cyborg trained. Cyborg lost the fight via submission in the first round, which remained her only professional loss in MMA until 2018, when she lost for the second time in her career againstAmanda Nunes. Although the method of win for Paes was officially recorded as a submission due to a kneebar, Cyborg's team claims that she tapped out due to an elbow injury sustained after a fall in the fight.[18]
After losing her MMA debut, Cyborg earned her first victory in the sport by defeatingVanessa Porto via unanimous decision. She subsequently won her next three fights in the Brazilian promotion Storm Samurai via first-round TKO finish, improving her record to 4-1.
She made her anticipated United States MMA debut on July 26, 2008, againstShayna Baszler atEliteXC: Unfinished Business.[19] She won the fight by TKO in the second round.[20]
She facedYoko Takahashi on October 4, 2008, atEliteXC: Heat, winning the fight by unanimous decision.[21]
She was scheduled to face Dutch submission specialistMarloes Coenen at XMMA 7 on February 27, 2009, but backed out of the fight after signing a new contract withStrikeforce.[22] Cyborg earned a BJJ Purple Belt under her jiu-jitsu instructorCristiano Marcello in 2009.[23]
She later signed to fight forStrikeforce,[22] which greatly increased the chance that a fight withGina Carano would take place. In her Strikeforce debut, she facedHitomi Akano on April 11, 2009, atStrikeforce: Shamrock vs. Diaz. Cyborg came in six pounds overweight for the fight. Akano originally rejected the fight due to Cyborg failing to make weight but later accepted the fight.[24] She defeated Akano by TKO in the third round.[25]
Before the fight with Carano, Cyborg was interviewed by mmaworldwide.com's reporter Aaron Tru. When asked how long it would take to submit Carano with a choke hold, she choked him.[26]
She foughtGina Carano on August 15, 2009, atStrikeforce: Carano vs. Cyborg for theWomen's Featherweight Championship. Cyborg won via TKO at 4:59 of the 5:00 first round.[27] The card was the first time that a major promotion had featured a main event between women. After the match, she hugged Carano, and stated in her interview that she had the utmost respect for Carano, and that it was an honor to fight her.
She next defended her title against Dutch standoutMarloes Coenen at a Strikeforce event on January 30, 2010.[28] She won the fight via TKO at 3:40 of round 3.[29]
Strikeforce CEO Scott Coker stated that the next challenger for Cyborg would most likely beErin Toughill.[30] However, Toughill later announced her intentions to leave Strikeforce and plans for the fight were cancelled.[31]
On April 7, 2010, Coker stated that Cyborg would fight again in June.[32] She facedJan Finney atStrikeforce: Fedor vs. Werdum[33] and won the fight via KO in the second round.[34] Her contract with Strikeforce expired on June 26, 2011. She renewed her Strikeforce contract on August 25, 2011.
On September 23, 2011, Cyborg announced that she would return to the promotion to faceHiroko Yamanaka. The fight took place atStrikeforce: Melendez vs. Masvidal on December 17, 2011.[35] She won via TKO just sixteen seconds into the first round; however, on January 6, 2012, it was announced that Cyborg had tested positive forstanozolol, an anabolic steroid. As a result of the banned substance, the fight's result was changed to a no contest. Cyborg had her license suspended for one year and was fined $2,500.[36]
On February 15, 2013, a month after Strikeforce folded, Cyborg signed a multi-fight deal withInvicta Fighting Championships. She was scheduled to make her debut on April 5 atInvicta FC 5: Penne vs. Waterson against Ediane Gomes to determine who would move on to face Marloes Coenen.[37] However, Gomes suffered an injury and Cyborg instead faced Fiona Muxlow.[38][39] Cyborg was successful in her return, winning the bout via TKO in the first round.[40][41]
Cyborg facedMarloes Coenen in a rematch for the inauguralInvicta FC Featherweight Championship atInvicta FC 6: Coenen vs. Cyborg on July 13, 2013.[42][43] She defeated Coenen by TKO in the fourth round to become the first Invicta FC featherweight champion.[44][45]
She returned to Muay Thai to face Jennifer Colomb atLion Fight 11 in Las Vegas on September 20, 2013, defeating the previously undefeated Frenchwoman by TKO in round three.[46][47][48] She had initially been set to fight Martina Jindrova but Jindrova withdrew with injury.[49][50]
She lost a five-round unanimous decision againstJorina Baars in a fight for the inaugural Lion Fight Women's Welterweight Championship in the co-main event ofLion Fight 14 in Las Vegas, Nevada, United States on March 28, 2014.[51][52][53] Baars officially knocked down Cyborg in the first round with a head kick and in the fifth round with a spinning heel kick, although referee Tony Weeks missed at least two other occasions throughout the fight where a knockdown could have been issued. Cyborg hit the canvas from a front kick in one occasion and from a knee on another, both times they were ruled slips by the referee.[54]
In February 2015, Cyborg returned to MMA to defend her Invicta Featherweight title againstCharmaine Tweet in the main event atInvicta FC 11. She successfully defended her title, winning the fight via TKO in just under a minute in the first round.[55]
Cyborg facedFaith Van Duin on July 9, 2015, atInvicta FC 13: Cyborg vs. Van Duin. She won the fight by TKO in the first round due to a knee to the body and punches.[56][57]
In March 2015, it was announced that Cyborg had signed with theUFC. Cyborg made her promotional debut atUFC 198 againstLeslie Smith at acatchweight of 140 pounds.[58] She won the fight by TKO in the first round.[59]
Cyborg faced promotional newcomer Lina Länsberg in a catchweight (140 lb) bout on September 24, 2016, atUFC Fight Night 95.[60] The referee stopped the fight midway through the second round after Länsberg could not effectively defend herself.[61]
In December 2016 UFC was notified of a potential USADA doping violation by Cyborg. Cyborg's team immediately responded that it was in regards to a substance that helped her recover from her weight cut.[62][63] On February 17, 2017, Cyborg was granted a retroactivetherapeutic use exemption (TUE). Therefore, her suspension was lifted, and she was immediately eligible to compete.[64]
In March 2017 Cyborg vacated her Invicta featherweight title and called outGermaine de Randamie for the belt targeting UFC 214 in Anaheim, California.[8][9] The match fell apart sinceGermaine de Randamie refused to fight, stating that Cyborg was a proven drug cheater and she was willing to get stripped of the belt for not fighting Cyborg.[65] De Randamie was stripped of her belt on June 19, 2017, by UFC[66] and Cyborg was expected to faceMegan Anderson to fight for the vacated UFC Women's Featherweight Championship atUFC 214 on July 29 in Anaheim, California.[67][68] On June 27, Anderson pulled out of the fight for personal reasons and was replaced by currentInvicta FC Bantamweight ChampionTonya Evinger.[69] Cyborg won by TKO in the third round to claim her first UFC championship.[70]

Following the fight against Spencer, which was the last fight on her contract, UFC presidentDana White announced that the UFC would not negotiate a new contract with Cyborg, and they would waive her three-month exclusive negotiating period. This allowed her to immediately begin negotiations with other organizations.[82]

Cris 'Cyborg' is the newest American citizen. After fulfilling all the requirements demanded by the U.S. government last August, including evidence of general, historical and English knowledge, the Curitiban became naturalized and guaranteed dual citizenship. Through a video posted live on her Facebook account, Cyborg released the exact moment she received the certificate of American citizenship. Now, the Curitiban will enter with two flags inside the cages of MMA: the one of Brazil and the one of the U.S.
