'Cris Cyborg' Brushes Off Dana White's Suggestion That She is Afraid Of Losing Again

Cristiane Justino has brushed off comments made by UFC President Dana White who suggested that the former UFC featherweight champion is “afraid to lose again” after her knockout loss to Amanda Nunes.

“Cyborg” had long been considered the best female fighter in the world, but lost her featherweight title back in December at UFC 232 to the now dual-division champion Nunes. The 34-year-old makes her return to the Octagon this weekend at UFC 240 in Edmonton, Alberta against the undefeated former Invicta FC featherweight champion Felicia Spencer.

Ahead of her fight, “Cyborg” spoke with TMZ and addressed comments made by White that she is scared of losing again.
