This weekend, mixed martial arts legend Chris Seborg defended her Bellato Women's Featherweight title for the fifth time, defeating UFC veteran Kate Zingano in the first round of the Bellato 300.
Although the athlete's superior physique and physique have led to many uninformed speculations that she is transgender, this is not the case. The 38-year-old is one of the greatest female mixed martial artists of all time.
Her mixed martial arts journey began with a first-round submission loss to Erica Pas at SF-Showfight 2 in 2005, then she went on a 16-fight unbeaten streak before making her UFC debut in 2016, where she easily defeated Leslie Smith with a first-round TKO.
The Brazilian quickly rose to the top ranks, claiming the UFC featherweight title with a third-round TKO against Tonya Evenger at UFC 214.

Cyborg then defended her title twice before suffering her first defeat in 13 years as she lost to another legend Amanda Nunes in the opening round knockout at UFC 232.
Her troubled relationship with the UFC hierarchy freed her from promotion in 2019, paving the way for her tenure at Bellator. The Brazilian is now 6-0 in the promotion rounds and is number one in the Bellator pound-to-pound standings.
Cris Cyborg was "disappointed" that she never had a rematch with Amanda Nunes
Losing to Amanda Nunes is easily one of the most heartbreaking moments of Chris Seborg's fighting career. To make matters worse, the 38-year-old was removed from the UFC shortly after closing all doors for a chance of revenge.
Now that Nunes has retired, the Brazilian will most likely never get a chance to finish the game.
In an interview with mixed martial arts journalist James Lynch, the multi-promotion champion spoke about her thoughts on the retirement of her main rival:
"I don't want to say sad, but... I think the right word is disappointing. I have only one goal in mind: to play in the rematch before I retire or she retires. I think a lot of fans have asked for this too... After we fought, I was undefeated for 14 years. I think the rematch, it will be great.
