Overview
- Christine Ferea issued the challenge after defending her BKFC title at Fenway Park, calling for a bare‑knuckle matchup with Cris Cyborg.
- Cris Cyborg replied that she has not retired and made clear any BKFC switch would have to 'make dollars,' placing money at the center of the decision.
- BKFC CEO David Feldman said the promotion could explore the fight and reported that Conor McGregor privately messaged him with enthusiasm for the matchup.
- Cyborg completed her PFL contract with a win over Ketlen Vieira and is now a free agent weighing crossover options in MMA and boxing against legacy and financial considerations.
- No fight is scheduled and promoters say negotiations would hinge on purse, promotion logistics, and Cyborg’s broader choice of opponents, with a bout likely to be a high-profile crossover if terms are met.
