2 min readThe Bellator 271 was held on Friday, in Hollywood, Florida, and its main attraction was the featherweight belt dispute between the champ, Chris Cyborg, and Ireland’s Sinead Kavanagh, fifth in the category classification.

It was Chris from the start. After a few seconds of grabbing, the Brazilian began to stand up straight and gave up a series of punches, two of her right hands completely hit her opponent, who fell. Cyborg still had three more hits to check, as he finished the feud with just 1m 32s of the first round, and successfully defended his belt for the third time.
While in the cage, the cyborg was asked who she’d put her belt on next time, and Cat Zingano was called her favourite. When asked about Kayla Harrison, the no-contract PFL champion who was in the audience, the Brazilian said she’s up for the challenge, but the organizations need to come to terms so they can take on each other.

The other Brazilian in the event was Bruna Elaine, who had a tough fight against Desiree Jani on the preliminary card. The feud existed almost entirely, with a slight advantage to Bruna, who obtained the victory by a split decision.
