Tito Ortiz opens up on Cris Cyborg turning down UFC title fights

bjpenndotcom - January 4, 2017

The last several weeks of 2016 certainly were interesting ones for Invicta FC featherweight champion Cris Cyborg. UFC President Dana White revealed several weeks ago that Cris Cyborg, who is 2-0 under the UFC banner at catchweight fights at 140 pounds, had turned down not one, but two opportunities to fight for the inaugural women’s featherweight championship. Subsequently, the promotion announced that former UFC women’s bantamweight champion Holly Holm and Germaine De Randamie would be competing for the inaugural women’s featherweight championship. Shortly after the promotion announced that Holm and De Randamie would be competing for the inaugural belt, it was announced that the UFC had been notified of a potential anti-doping violation after USADA revealed that Cyborg failed a drug test in December.
