Cisneros represented El Salvador at the 2008 Summer Olympics in Beijing, where he competed for the men's half-middleweight class. He received a bye for the second preliminary round, before losing out by an ippon and a juji gatame (back-lying perpendicular armbar) to U.S. judoka and Pan American Games champion Travis Stevens.[3][4]
Cisneros retired in 2010. He later moved to the United States, where he worked as a trainer at the Top Brother Gym in Florada. Cisneros died on 28 October 2023, at the age of 39, of "natural causes".[5]
