Many feel Cris Cyborg will go down as the best fighter in the history of women’s fighting.
Cyborg is 17-1-1 with 15 of those wins by knockout, is a former Strikeforce featherweight champion and is the current Invicta FC 145-pound titleholder. She has not only the best striking in all of Women’s MMA, but perhaps the best in the entire sport.
Paige VanZant is a star on the rise and a budding fighter in the UFC’s women’s strawweight division. She’s 7-3 overall and 4-2 in the UFC. The Team Alpha Male fighter was the runner-up on last season’s “Dancing With the Stars” and potentially become the new face of Women’s MMA.
Cyborg and VanZant would appear to be on two different plains in their fighting careers. That is not the case.
MMAImports.com has the exclusive on the two female stars doing a training session at RVCA’s private gym at their headquarters in Costa Mesa, California.
VanZant lost her most recent fight against Michelle Waterson at UFC on Fox 22 in December. Cyborg’s last two fights have been in the UFC, including the main event in September at UFC Fight Night 95 against Lina Lansberg, winning by second-round TKO.
Getting in some training with one of the great female fighters of all-time never hurts and a case of iron sharpening iron.
Will this be a one-time affair or will Cyborg and “12 Gauge” make training together a regular happening?
