Cris Cyborg has been in a serious training camp as she prepares for UFC 219 and a rumored fight against Holly Holm, but few fans expected her to step into a ring before then, especially in a Muay Thai stadium in Thailand.
Check out this footage from Last Night in Patong Thailand as UFC Champion Cris Cyborg served as Ring Card girl to display the Bangla Stadium Championship belt during the main event of the Thai fight extravaganza.
Cris looked like a natural as she circled the ring in her high heels twice, before gracefully bowing under the bottom ropes, as is customary in Thailand. Anyone wanting details on training and fighting in Thailand should contact Phuket Top Team.
Earlier in the night Cyborg’s boyfriend Ray Elbe made his return to Muay Thai picking up a 1st round body kick stoppage against ChangThai. Check out the highlights of MagicalRay’s finish below. With the win Ray Elbe improved his professional Muay Thai record to 6 wins, 3 losses. Already a Brazilian Jiu Jitsu Black Belt, Ray has a professional MMA record of 25 wins and 11 losses having competed during the season 9 of the UFC Ultimate Fighter reality TV show.
