Cris Cyborg's ex on UFC: 'They treat fighters like dogs'

As Evangelista Santos gears up for his next Bellator fight, he's sounding off on the UFC and their relationship with his ex-wife Cris Cyborg.

Evangelista and Cris Cyborg used to be one of MMA's preeminent couples. Back in the Strikeforce days the husband and wife combo were promotional mainstays, led by Cris' run as the queen of WMMA at 145+. They're no longer married now, and they no longer fight in the same place. After Strikeforce closed its doors, Cyborg jumped over to Invicta FC, where she continued her run of dominance (albeit on a smaller stage). Evangelista went back to the Brazilian regional MMA scene.
