The former featherweight champion released a short statement on social media Monday night, days after UFC president Dana White announced they would not try to re-sign her to a new deal following her UFC 240 win over Felicia Spencer. In an Instagram post, Cyborg said she’s thrilled to put an end to her UFC run.
Cyborg took some time to respond to some comments in the post, reiterating that she’s not “running” from a rematch with Amanda Nunes, who knocked her out last December to become the first woman to win multiple belts in the Octagon.
