David Feldman pursues potential bareknuckle boxing match for Cris Cyborg

BKFC president David Feldman expressed interest in signing free agent Cris Cyborg for a potential fight against Cristine Ferea. Ferea issued the challenge following her victory at BKFC 92 at Fenway Park this past Saturday. Cyborg, who recently finished her PFL contract after a win against Ketlen Vieira on August 22, has not retired from competition. Feldman stated that Conor McGregor also reached out to support the matchup between the two fighters. While nothing is finalized, both the organization and the potential participants have acknowledged interest in the bout. Cyborg brings a decorated resume as a former champion in the UFC, Bellator, PFL, and Invicta to a possible transition into bareknuckle boxing.
