Cris Cyborg cracked ESPN's pound-for-pound top 10 at 41 years old. The PFL women's featherweight champion extended her winning streak to secure the ranking, proving she remains one of combat sports' most dangerous competitors despite her age.
Cyborg has built a career on defying expectations. She dominated women's featherweight for years in the UFC before moving to the PFL, where she captured the title. Her inclusion in the P4P rankings reflects what she keeps delivering in the cage: wins against quality opposition and performances that translate across weight classes.
At this stage of her career, most fighters fade or retire. Cyborg chose differently. She's still finishing fights, still winning titles, and still earning recognition among the sport's elite. The ranking acknowledges what fans already know watching her fight every time she takes the cage.
This isn't about nostalgia or respect for a veteran. This is about current results. Cyborg is active. Cyborg is winning. And apparently, Cyborg is just getting started.
