Cyborg Done With The UFC?

Cyborg Done With The UFC?

It looks like the UFC career of Cris Cyborg is over. Less than a week out from her final fight on her existing contract, it appears that her win over Felicia Spencer at UFC 240 will be the last time we see Cyborg compete in the UFC.

In an interview with UFC’s Laura Sanko, Dana White said the following:

“I’m gonna release her from her contract, I will not match any offers, she is free and clear to go to Bellator or any of these other organizations and fight these easy fights that she wants. Done. Done deal. I will literally, today, have my lawyers draft a letter to her team that she is free and clear to go wherever she wants. We’re out of the Cyborg business.”

Right from the start there always appeared to be tensions, only this week Cyborg has made reference to alleged bullying.

Cyborg vs Ronda Rousey would have been a seismic fight, but it never happened, and the Amanda Nunes fight probably was the beginning of the end.

In many ways the Cyborg/UFC relationship was a missed opportunity, it really should have been so much more.
