Bellator 238 Results: Cris Cyborg Makes History, Adds More Gold

First it was Strikeforce. Invicta FC and UFC followed. Now, Cris Cyborg is the Bellator champion.

Cyborg became the first fighter to win titles in all four promotions Saturday night, finishing Julia Budd in the main event of Bellator 238. The event aired live on DAZN from The Forum in Los Angeles.

The finish came in the fourth round just as the action was heating up.

Cyborg landed with power shots, finishing Budd on the ground to improve to 22-2 in her career. The win was the second straight for the 34-year-old since a 2018 loss to Amanda Nunes.

For Budd, her 11-fight win streak was snapped with the defeat. She had not been defeated since a 2011 setback to Ronda Rousey while both were competing for Strikeforce.
