Dana White Says UFC Is Releasing Cris Cyborg From Her Contract

UFC president Dana White announced on Friday he will release Cris "Cyborg" Justino from her UFC contract.

"I'm gonna release her from her contract, I will not match any offers, she is free and clear to go to Bellator or any of these other organizations and fight these easy fights that she wants. Done. Done deal," White said in a UFC video released on Thursday. "I will literally, today, have my lawyers draft a letter to her team that she is free and clear to go wherever she wants. We're out of the Cyborg business."

Cyborg and White have feuded in recent weeks as White has pushed for Cyborg's rematch with Amanda Nunes.
