Dana White destroys Cyborg and says Amanda Nunes will knock Cyborg out again

The Dana White and Cyborg controversies have been there since the beginning. But all of it came to an end when UFC president Dana White released Cyborg from her UFC contract. And in his recent interview, Dana White openly criticized Cyborg for the edited video she and her management put in her social media accounts to make Dana White look guilty in the whole scenario.

Dana White expresses his frustration with the whole Cyborg situation and said that dealing with Cyborg from the beginning has been a bad experience. He said “We brought her in after she tested positive for steroids. We made her a clean athlete with the best drug testing policies. And nothing is better for her brand and legacy, knowing that she is a clean athlete after testing positive for steroids and all the negativity that surrounded her about being a dirty athlete.”

White also said that Cyborg always complained, she was a nightmare to deal with, and she never wanted to fight Amanda Nunes. He reportedly said that it is obvious who the best female fighter at 135 and 145 division is and it’s Amanda Nunes. According to him, Cyborg was offered to fight Nunes many times, but she always avoided to fight Amanda and instead wanted to fight other fighters. And Cyborg was also offered the rematch against Nunes, but she didn’ take the deal.

On the release of Cyborg, Dana White seemed not bothered at all saying, “Cyborg leaving doesn’t matter. We know who the best fighter in the world is. If I am lying, she calls tomorrow and we will make that fight. But she will not call tomorrow and that fight will not be made. Because Cyborg doesn’t want to fight. Amanda Nunes will knock her out again on the first round. We all know that.”
Dana White disagreed with fighters before such as Mark Hunt, Tito Ortiz, and Ben Askren. But his disagreement with Cyborg has been never-ending, and probably it’s better for both parties that UFC and Cyborg are parting ways right now. Dana White also blamed Cyborg’s management for not dealing with the situation properly.

After getting released from UFC, Cyborg has few other options such as Bellator, Invicta or even WWE. Reportedly Bellator’s president Scott Cooker has shown interest in signing Cyborg. It would be interesting to see what Cyborg decides to do with her career in the future.
