(Editor’s note: This story originally published in Friday’s print edition of USA TODAY.) LOS ANGELES – The woman considered by many to be the greatest fighter in women’s MMA will attempt to make history Saturday night by winning a championship in her fourth major promotion. Cris Cyborg , of Huntington Beach, Calif., by way of Brazil, will challenge Julia Budd for the Bellator women’s featherweight title in the Bellator 238 main event at The Forum in nearby Inglewood. Cyborg (21-2 MMA, 0-0 BMMA), who is receiving the title shot in her first bout with her new promoter, previously held the 145-pound championship in Strikeforce, Invicta FC, and the UFC. She says the key to winning multiple championships is, well, not acting like you’ve won multiple championships. “I don’t think I know everything,” Cyborg said.
