Cris Cyborg Faces Unbeaten Sara Collins for PFL Featherweight Title in Lyon on Saturday

Overview

• The bout is the co-main event of PFL Europe 4 on Dec. 13 in Lyon with the women's featherweight championship on the line.
• Cyborg arrives as one of MMA’s most decorated fighters, coming off three consecutive boxing knockouts and a recent Super Fights featherweight title win over Larissa Pacheco by decision.
• Collins is 6-0 after a 3-0 stint in Bellator that included a submission of Leah McCourt, and she says she requested this title shot a year ago.
• The challenger expects to lean on her judo-based grappling and believes her throwing game offers a look Cyborg will struggle to prepare for.
• Pre-fight analysis broadly favors Cyborg, with Empire Sports Media predicting a TKO, while Collins talks up an upset and says a rematch in Australia would be her preference if she wins.
