Cris Cyborg battery case dismissed after fine, anger management course

The UFC women’s featherweight champion issued a submittal plea in Las Vegas Municipal Court after being cited for battery last year in an incident involving fellow fighter Angela Magaña, a court spokesperson confirmed with MMA Fighting. Cyborg paid a $398 fine and the case was recently dismissed.

On her website, CrisCyborg.com, an article written states that Cyborg also completed an anger management course. A submittal plea in Nevada allows first-time offenders to have misdemeanor charges dismissed — it’s not an admission of guilt as much as an acceptance of the charge.

“The entire experience was a learning opportunity,” Cyborg told her website.
