Cris Cyborg is recognized as the sport of MMA’s only Grand Slam Champion after winning every major championship in her weight class in the sport of Mixed Martial Arts. Capturing the Strikeforce, Invicta FC, UFC, and Bellator MMA Championships during a historic 18 year period has firmly established Cris Cyborg as one of the greatest combat sports athletes of all time, male or female.
Following the sell of Strikeforce to the UFC, Cris Cyborg became a Free Agent and signed with the Invicta Fighting Championship which was an all female MMA promotion lead by former Strikeforce employee Shannon Knapp and was dedicated to giving women an opportunity to showcase their skills at a time when Dana White only had an opportunity for Ronda Rousey to compete.
Facing Fiona Muxlow at Invicta FC 5 Cyborg went on to pick up the 1st round TKO victory and would follow that performance with a dominate 4 round victory over Marloes Coenen at Invicta FC 6 to officially become the Invicta FC Champion before vacating the belt after 3 successful defenses. After starting her career 6-1 Fiona retired from MMA following back to back defeats to Marloes Coenen and Cyborg however her contributions as a pioneer for Australian MMA will never be forgotten.
