While MMA legend Cris Cyborg was expected to retire after her PFL featherweight title defense against Ketlen Vieira on Saturday night, she still has her eyes set on a future big-name opponent.

Cyborg defeated Vieira by unanimous decision with scores of 49-46, 48-47, 49-46 in the main event of PFL Tampa to earn her 30th career MMA win.

After the victory, Cyborg didn't commit to hanging up her gloves, and she called out boxing star Claressa Shields for a future fight.

"I'm ready for anybody," Cyborg said, per Drake Riggs of Uncrowned. "I'm not a free agent. I'm going back to rest. Eight years undefeated. I'm ready for anybody. Any time, any weight. [Boxing champion] Claressa Shields, the girl is scared to fight me. You're scared. [Vieira] has more heart than you. … Eat less. [Let's fight at] 160 [pounds]. Let's go."

Shields, who won the WBA and WBC female middleweight titles earlier this month, wasn't the only potential adversary on Cyborg's mind. Former two-time PFL champion and reigning UFC bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison was in attendance to watch her teammates compete on the fight card, and Cyborg also targeted her for a potential matchup.

"Kayla Harrison is here. Come here!" Cyborg said. "Hey, Kayla. You've been running for so long. You went running from PFL from me, now you come to watch my fight. I'm ready for you. I hope you heal your neck and go challenge Amanda Nunes, and I'm here."

Cyborg is one of the greatest women's fighters in combat sports history, so it wouldn't be a surprise if she looks to extend her iconic career with another marquee showdown.
