Cris Cyborg has answered Christine Ferea after the BKFC champion used her post-fight interview at BKFC 92 to call for a bare-knuckle fight.
Ferea stopped Sofia Landi in Boston and then asked Cyborg to meet her under BKFC rules. Cyborg’s response started with a direct correction to the idea that she had stepped away from competition.
“I never retired”
Cyborg Makes The BKFC Money Question Clear
Cyborg then made the financial side of any bare-knuckle discussion plain. The former UFC, Bellator, Strikeforce and PFL champion did not announce interest in the fight. She said the offer would have to justify the move.
“if it don’t make dollars it don’t make sense”
The answer fits where Cyborg’s career currently sits. She is still active across MMA and boxing, and she defeated Ketlen Vieira by unanimous decision at PFL Tampa in July. Since then, Cyborg has publicly discussed major-name options, including Ronda Rousey, Kayla Harrison, and Claressa Shields.
Ferea’s callout still gives BKFC a clear crossover target. She remains one of the promotion’s most accomplished women, and her win over Landi kept momentum behind a larger fight. Cyborg’s answer leaves the next step with the promoters rather than with another social-media exchange.
Ferea’s BKFC 92 win and Cyborg callout created the opening for this exchange. Cyborg’s broader fight-news cycle has kept her around major-name conversations, including boxing discussion and crossover talk. A Ferea bout may stay in play, but Cyborg’s public position is that the money has to make sense first.
