How does Cris Cyborgs Muay Thai loss affect her UFC future? Quite a bit! Mixed martial arts and Muay Thai are two completely different sports. Just because Cris Cyborg lost Friday night at Lion Fight to Jorina Baars doesnt mean shes still not one of the top two best womens MMA fighters in the world. But MMA, unlike other sports, is all about perspective. Its not so much about how good you are, its how good people think you are. And you better believe fans will have a different view of Cyborg now after this loss. Because not only was she defeated, she was roughed up. Baars dropped Cyborg three times. She was dominant early on. We saw a different version of Cyborg on Friday night. Gone was the ferocious force of nature that couldn’t be beat. In its place was a gutty, iron-chinned woman who was tough as nails, but a little lacking in technique. In other words, Cyborg was more Diego Sanchez than Anderson Silva. Like it or not, Cyborgs loss will have a huge effect on her potential future with the UFC. Before now, Cyborg had a ton of leverage. The kind of leverage held by someone who hasnt lost a combat sports bout in nine years. She doesnt have that anymore? msn.foxsports/ufc/story/how-does-cris-cyborg-s-muay-thai-loss-affect-her-ufc-future-quite-a-bit-032914
