UFC Rumors: Dana White, Cris Cyborg Will Eventually End Squabble

Cristiane Justino, known to most as Cris Cyborg, is now a free agent after concluding his final fight at UFC 240 via a unanimous decision win over Felicia Spencer. Following some beef between her and UFC president Dana White, it appears that she will not get a new contract moving forward.

This is despite Cyborg repeatedly mentioning that she wants another shot at UFC featherweight champion Amanda Nunes, the only woman who dealt her a loss the past decade. But for that to happen, she needs to get a new deal done first and this is something that appears to be a long shot, the Las Vegas Review Journal reported.

As mentioned in a previous post, Cyborg knows that her relationship with the UFC top brass is not exactly sweet and that she would be surprised if White said something nice about her. This was tied up to the "afraid to lose" remarks made by the UFC president, singling out how Justino has yet to sign a contract for a rematch.

Following those remarks, White said that Justino will be released from her contract, albeit making her a free agent. But for some, this may be too shallow and believe that both sides will eventually patch things up at some point.

Case in point, Tyron Woodley is one of those people who believe that the conflict between White and Cyborg will eventually be quashed. The former UFC welterweight champion gave his take recently on The Hollywood Beatdown where he believes Cyborg will eventually be back in the Octagon in 2020, TMZ Sports reported.

"Cyborg is too big of a name. There's too much money in Cyborg. Cyborg was the greatest female fighter ever until Amanda Nunes took her out."

In the end, it is all about business. There is no denying that a Cyborg vs. Nunes rematch would be great since it is bound to rack in big revenue. Seeing that this will be an obvious box-office draw even, especially with bad blood written all over, Woodley feels that White may foolish to pass up on a blockbuster rematch.
