Cris Cyborg Goes Topless Ahead of Bellator Debut
Whether there is a correlation or not, some elite Brazilian female prizefighters who’ve reached champion status have not been hesitant to explicate their feminine sides. Furthermore, they’ve shown no fear when it comes to posing without clothes in photoshoots. Both double champion Amanda Nunes and former champion Jessica Andrade posed completely nude after winning their UFC title belts. Now, newly signed Bellator Cris Cyborg has decided to go topless ahead of her debut.
On January 25th, Cyborg will take on Julia Budd at The Forum in Inglewood, California. The bout will headline Bellator 238 and will be for the women’s featherweight title. Additionally, there is quite a historic milestone on the line for the main event. If Cyborg wins the title, she will be the first MMA fighter to win a major MMA title in 4 separate promotions.
Cris has been heavily promoting her Bellator debut on social media. However, this time, Cyborg decided to share images of a photoshoot in which she posed topless. The classy image personifies Cyborg’s strength and unveils a different side that fans aren’t used to seeing.

It’s possible that more images of the artsy shoot will be revealed as the lead up to the fight gets closer. Whether Cyborg chooses to release more topless photos is up to her. However, Cris has always been known for her positive energy, female empowerment, and fearlessness. The image she released captures all of those qualities in one.
