‘Cris Cyborg,’ Angela Magana Involved in Altercation Over Social Media Jabs at UFC Athlete Retreat

The Ultimate Fighting Championship's Athlete Retreat certainly isn't a vacation or a picnic.

On Sunday, featherweight ace “Cyborg” Cristiane Justino and UFC bantamweight Angela Magana reportedly were in a physical altercation in which blows were exchanged, with Justino punching Magana in the face. MMAFighting's Ariel Helwani initially reported the fracas, which was then corroborated by several eye witness accounts from some of the over 300 fighters in attendance at the multi-day event in Las Vegas.

After a heated exchange of words, Justino struck Magana in the face, allegedly stunning her, but not knocking her down.
