In the main event of Bellator 238, Cris Cyborg made her promotional debut and stunned the crowd at The Forum, handing Julia Budd her first loss in 8 years and capturing the Bellator featherweight title. Prior to the crowning of a new champ, Darrion Caldwell earned his spot in the featherweight grand prix semifinals after submitting Adam Borics.
Here’s what the pros had to say about tonight’s top performances.
