In the tough world of MMA, where fists do the talking, a song just threw a playful punch. Picture this: Bellator champion Cris Cyborg, famed for her knockout power, grabs a mic instead of gloves.
Her target? Not just the heavy bag, but Kayla Harrison and Claressa Shields. She belts out a parody, echoing Miley Cyrus, but with a twist.
It’s a fusion of pop and punches and Miley, an unexpected move in the fighter’s playbook. Enter Amanda Serrano, a titan in her own right. Her response?
Amanda Serrano laughs while Cyborg sings
Diving into the heart of the story, Cris Cyborg, a titan in the Bellator featherweight division, recently released a parody. She skillfully mimics the tune of Miley Cyrus’s hit ‘Flowers‘, but with a twist uniquely her own. The lyrics ring with her characteristic confidence and prowess. “I have won, all the gold. And I’m just 38 years old. I’m a strong Brazilian, I’ll destroy Kayla Harrison,” she sings with a mix of humor and bravado. Cyborg doesn’t stop there; she continues, “I can knock you out standing and leave you laid out there.”
Stepping further into the story, Cris Cyborg’s musical adventure doesn’t end with her playful jabs at Kayla Harrison. She also turns her lyrical prowess towards Claressa Shields, the Undisputed Light-Middleweight Champion. In her parody of Miley Cyrus’s “Flowers,” Cyborg throws a lyrical punch with, “No remorse, no regret, Claressa Shields just s**t the bed. Oh you know that if you fight me, your nose is gonna fly. I’ll make you cry cause it will go real high.”
This unexpected foray into music caught the attention of many, notably Amanda Serrano. Known for her own formidable presence in the ring, Serrano couldn’t help but react to Cyborg’s creative jab. Her response? A simple yet expressive, “This is hilarious”. This laughter, coming from a fellow fighter, adds a layer of camaraderie to the competitive spirit of MMA.
Cyborg’s parody, thus, does more than entertain; it bridges the gap between intense competition and lightheartedness. It’s not been too long since Claressa called Cyborg out. Could that be the reason of this song?
Shields’ bold call-out
Could Claressa Shields’ recent bold statements be the fuel behind Cris Cyborg’s parody? Shields, self-dubbed ‘the Goat’, didn’t hold back in her remarks. She claimed that women in MMA earn significantly more than their counterparts in boxing, yet highlighted her own success by stating she’s making seven figures. Shields then shifted her focus to Cyborg, implying avoidance from the latter for a potential bout.
“If you don’t want to box against me, cause you can’t win, just say that,” Shields taunted. This fiery exchange may have sparked Cyborg to respond not with words, but through her unique parody song. It raises the question: Is this musical jab Cyborg’s way of answering Shields’ challenge, blending humor with her renowned fighting spirit?
Cris Cyborg’s foray into musical parody, possibly sparked by Claressa Shields’ bold call-out, showcases a different battleground where words and melodies replace fists and kicks.
