In case you didn’t know…
Cyborg completed her contractual obligations with the UFC last weekend at UFC 240, with a decision win over Felicia Spencer; however, talk of a big-money rematch with Amanda Nunes will not go away.
While it does appear that all parties are interested in getting a deal signed for a rematch, it seems there is a much deeper-lying issue that needs to be rectified before Cyborg will put pen to paper on a new contract.
The heart of the matter…
Cyborg held nothing back when discussing the UFC and her on-going negotiations with the promotion. Thanks to MMAFighting for the transcription:
Unfortunately, the issues between Cyborg and White go way beyond business and the negotiation table. Cyborg explained that before talks can advance, she requires public apologies from Dana White and UFC commentator Joe Rogan, for inappropriate jokes he has made about her in the past…
What’s next?
Ideally, the next step in this ugly saga would be for both parties to sit down in private and resolve their disagreement away from the public eye. Unfortunately, it seems more likely that the damage has already been done, and both parties will walk away from negotiations, which would mean we have seen Cyborg’s last fight under the UFC banner.
