Bellator featherweight champion Cris Cyborg fought in the UFC between 2016 and 2020 and claimed that promotion’s featherweight title in her third ever fight in the Octagon. She defended that belt twice before losing to Amanda Nunes in 2018.
Cyborg joined the UFC despite a number of comments that were made about her by UFC President Dana White and Ronda Rousey, the UFC’s biggest star during Cyborg’s time outside of the company.
This week Cyborg expressed that it was comments from another UFC mainstay that stuck with her throughout her time in the Octagon. On twitter she revealed that UFC commentator Joe Rogan’s lewd joke about her caused her stress whenever she knew he would be calling one of her fights.
