RIYADH, Saudi Arabia – One of the most significant women’s MMA fights in recent history is official after Cris Cyborg and Larissa Pacheco made weight Friday for PFL: Battle of the Giants.
Former UFC, Strikeforce, Invicta FC and current Bellator women’s featherweight champion Cyborg (27-2) will attempt to add another belt to her mantle when she takes on 2022 PFL women’s lightweight champion and 2023 women’s featherweight champion Pacheco (23-4) for the women’s featherweight super fight belt.
The pair did their jobs to make on the scale at the host hotel, with Cyborg weighing in at 144.5 pounds, while Pacheco registered at 144.1.
Now the stage is set for Cyborg and Pacheco to share the cage in Saturday’s co-headliner at The Mayadeen, which airs on ESPN+ pay-per-view and DAZN following prelims simulcast on MMA Junkie.
