We\u2019ve had some soft discussions about her next fight and her future. She\u2019d love to fight for the UFC.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Attar seems optimistic that Cris Cyborg and the UFC will come to a new deal given the fact that the former champ is one of the most popular fighters in MMA.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>\u201dCris Cyborg is one of the biggest draws in MMA. And that is fact,&#8221; he said. &#8220;Even in that last fight, she went in there and didn\u2019t fight her fight and got caught, but it was still exciting to watch.&#8221;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Prior to her loss to Amanda Nunes, Cyborg was unbeaten for more than a decade. Her five most recent wins occurred in the UFC&#8217;s Octagon, where she bested Yana Kunitskaya, Holly Holm, Tony Evinger, Lina Lansberg and Leslie Smith.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>What do you think the future holds for Cris Cyborg?<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><em>This article first appeared on&nbsp;<\/em><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><em>BJPENN.COM<\/em><\/a><em>&nbsp;on 2\/19\/2019.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><br \/><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The future of former UFC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg is currently somewhat murky.
