The already tenuous relationship between Cris Cyborg and UFC president Dana White has completely broken down in recent weeks, resulting in White waiving the UFC’s exclusive negotiation and matching rights in Cyborg’s contract so that the former featherweight champion can become an unrestricted free agent.
There’s plenty of blame go around and according to UFC broadcast member Joe Rogan, it’s not all on the fighter and the boss.
White publicly announced that he was through with the Cyborg business after a video appeared on her social media that showed a backstage conversation with White, a clip that did not paint him in a flattering light.
