With no fight currently booked, former UFC champion Cris Cyborg has been focusing her energy on a different type of battle. Cyborg recently joined fellow fighter Justin Wren and his organization, “Fight for the Forgotten,” in an effort to provide safe drinking water for two villages in Uganda. The trip was documented in a 30-minute video, posted to Cyborg’s YouTube page. “Our clean water is just part of an entire Water-Land-Food initiative going on to help empower the Batwa Pygmies currently enslaved, or living as refugees,” Cyborg said of the initiative. “I know usually I’m promoting fight related material, but this experience has reaffirmed to me the responsibilities we all have to help make this world more lovable and better for everyone.” In the clip, you can hear takafrica.org ‘s Josphat Ngaira Musumba talk about the struggle with malaria – which Wren has fallen ill with three times – and the efforts to prevent and treat the disease.
