Cris Cyborg, Now a Free Agent

Written on July 01, 2011 by Markham Mencken

After being unable to come in terms with Strikeforce and Zuffa, Cris Cyborg is now a free agent.

Cris Cyborg is now officially a free agent, which means that Strikeforce was unwilling to properly compensate her, or that Zuffa decided to discontinue promoting women’s MMA under the Strikeforce banner.

According to a source close from the situation, Cris Cyborg’s contract under Zuffa ended last Wednesday. Moreover, Strikeforce and UFC’s parent company failed to come to terms with the women’s MMA middleweight champ before she became a free agent. However, Cris Cyborg was said to be in negotiation with another undisclosed promotion. Gina Carano must have some lucky stars now.
