Chris Weidman was one of the few people who witnessed the highly publicized punch that Cris Cyborg landed on strawweight Angela Magana at the UFC Athlete Retreat back in May.

The trouble began when the fighters were getting off the buses that brought them back to the hotel after they visited the UFC’s state-of-the-art Performance Institute. Weidman and his crew, along with Magana and Bec Rawlings, ended up on a bus that was designated for Brazilian fighters.

Although there was no trouble on the journey back to the resort, Weidman noticed Cyborg making a beeline for Magana as soon as he left the bus.
