    Cyborg beats Collins by submission

    That is just Cris Cyborg's second submission of her illustrious career as she keeps hold of her PFL featherweight world title.

    That's her first since 2020 - which was also a rear-naked choke.

    We'll be hearing from her shortly.

    Cyborg v Collins

    Just INCREDIBLE from Cris Cyborg.

    She looks to be in a world of trouble on the canvas after being taken down by Sara Collins but Cyborg takes her back and submits her with the rear-naked choke.

    That's five titles in five different MMA promotions. World titles in UFC, Bellator and now PFL.

    So, so good.

    It feels like Sarah Collins' game plan is working with whatever Cybrog throws at her. I would love to see her being more aggressive.

    Cyborg v Collins

    Does Cyborg ever take a step back? She stalking Collins once again and looks to unload but just hasn't been able to land clean.

    A bit of trouble for Cyborg now and Collins trips her and is looking for the submission.

    Cyborg's ground defence is brilliant and she's able to turn it into offence while still on her back. Collins eats a kick to the chin and decides to let Cyborg back to her feet.

    With 15 seconds left, Collins lands a nice straight left but Cyborg still comes forward.

    Cyborg v Collins

    Cyborg does not hold back at all when throwing hands. She's looking for that overhand right all the time but Collins is doing enough.

    The Australian is having a go now as she takes Cyborg down and looks for the elbows.

    Collins didn't take anything massively dangerous in the first round but there is blood flowing from the bridge of her nose as round two gets going.

    Sarah Collins seems to be waiting for Cyborg too much, which is going to encourage cyborg to open up more.

    But Cyborg clearly has a lot of respect for Collins. We have seen her be a lot more aggressive than this in the past.

    Cyborg v Collins

    Cyborg continues to stalk Collins and looks to land some heavy strikes before nailing the takedown.

    Collins is definitely taking a cautious approach to this but can you blame her? Throw strikes and you're massively at risk of being countered.

    Cyborg is using her kicks really well - landing 12 out of 13 of them.

    Away we go!

    Cyborg is kitted out in red tonight with Collins opting for black. Cyborg, obviously, has started this one by stalking Collins but we've got a stoppage already.

    Collins' right eye doesn't look in great shape after taking a finger to it. She's OK to carry on, though.

    Cyborg v Collins

    A win over Sara Collins will represent a world title in a fifth promotion, although the belt is a rebranding of her Bellator championship after the PFL acquired the promotion in 2023.

    Alongside her MMA career, Cris Cyborg has also boxed professionally, and plans to add to her five wins in the sport before retiring next year.

    "I've already talked with PFL so we've planned for my last fight. We talked a little bit about maybe being in Brazil," said Cyborg.

    "Then I want to use the opportunity next year to do some boxing fights, too. So my last year, I believe I've worked with my team, this will be the last year."

    Cyborg v Collins

    Everyone in fight sports knows the name 'Cris Cyborg'.

    Next year, the MMA legend plans to bring her glittering career to an end because she wants to pursue another dream of hers... becoming a vet.

    Can't knock that, can you?!

    "Next year is going to be 21 years doing the same thing every day and I have different dreams. Among the dreams, I want to be a vet and I still want to do this," she said.

    Cyborg v Collins

    Cris Cyborg fights Australia's Sara Collins for the PFL women's featherweight title in a bout that she says will be the penultimate of her MMA career.

    "My last fight, I said to everybody that I'm starting my legacy tour because I have two fights left on my contract and I'm preparing myself to retire and close this chapter," Cyborg told MMA Fighting.

    "For me, next year is going to be the last year for everything.

    "In July I turned 40 so next year is going to be 41. I don't have any bad injuries in my career. I'm very blessed about this. I never did one surgery from one injury so thank you God."
