Cris Cyborg Wins Title, Former Champs Fall

It was a busy weekend in the UFC and Bellator, as Cris Cyborg made history and two former champions fell.

Cyborg became the first fighter to win titles in Strikeforce, Invicta FC, UFC and Bellator when she finished Julia Budd at Bellator 238.

The Brazilian was making her promotional debut. The finish came in the fourth round when Cyborg started delivering heavy body shots.

At UFC Fight Night: Raleigh, former champions Junior dos Santos and Rafael dos Anjos both lost.

Dos Santos fell in the main event to Curtis Blaydes, while dos Anjos dropped the co-main event to Michael Chiesa.
