UFC star Cynthia Calvillo strikes off Texas as her future fighting destination as the results of the recently concluded fight card flabbergasted her. The UFC’s San Antonio event produced some controversial decisions that divided the fans. The promotion has been at the epicenter of recent controversial decisions that sparked a debate among fans and fighters alike. Likewise, the main event between Marlon Vera and Cory Sandhagen on March 25 also produced a split decision and ignited scathing reactions. The UFC president Dana White also joined the bandwagon as he couldn’t wrap his head around the scorecard. Therefore, the flyweight fighter believes she is better off not fighting under Texas jurisdiction.

Notably, the 35-year-old expressed her opinions of UFC on ESPN 41 in an exclusive interview with the Middle Easy. While she contended the fight involving flyweights Maycee Barber and Andrea Lee was incorrectly decided, she also clarified her intention to not fight in Texas.

“No, I don’t want to fight for them. You know, I’ve gotten edged out in a couple of splits before. I definitely don’t want to go there,” she added later on.
