Dana White scoffs at Cris Cyborg snub, warns Rousey vs Holm 2 could be next - ‘This is a business of opportunity’

Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) President Dana White has an unfortunate history at taking verbal jabs at Cristiane “Cyborg” Santos, calling her "Wanderlei Silva in a dress" and laughing at inappropriate "dick" jokes at her expense. The greatest female Featherweight mixed martial arts (MMA) fighter of all time had to endure truly awful behavior from grown men — accept their apologies — all in an effort to earn an opportunity to perform inside the Octagon ... in a meaningless 140-pound Catchweight class.

Nonetheless, she made the weight, twice, even though it almost killed her.
