By The Numbers: Cris Cyborg vs. Larissa Pacheco

All of Brazil might want to pause and take a deep breath.

Cris Cyborg will face Larissa Pacheco for the newly minted Professional Fighters League superfight women’s featherweight championship in the PFL Super Fights “Battle of the Giants: Brace for Impact” co-main event on Oct. 19 at The Mayadeen in Riyadh, Saudia Arabia. Justino enters her promotional debut having already captured titles in the Ultimate Fighting Championship, Invicta Fighting Championships, Strikeforce and Bellator MMA organizations. She last competed at Bellator 300, where she turned away Cat Zingano with punches in the first round of their Oct. 7, 2023 pairing. Pacheco, meanwhile, finds herself on a 10-fight winning streak. She last saw action on Nov. 24, when she laid claim to a five-round unanimous decision over Marina Spivac in the $1 million women’s featherweight final at the 2023 PFL Championships.
