Cris Cyborg questions UFC company culture after Angela Magana incident

Cris Cyborg did not have a fun time at the UFC Athlete Retreat in Las Vegas over the weekend. The former Stirkeforce featherweight champion was involved in an altercation with strawweight fighter Angela Magana, which has since gone viral.

As seen on the video of the incident that was released, Cyborg threw a punch at Magana, and was demanding for “respect” to be shown towards her. The root of their rift was believed to be a previous tweet posted by Magana poking fun at Cyborg’s physical appearance.

Magana says she intends to take legal action, however, Cyborg has already been issued a citation for battery, which requires a court appearance.
