Cris Cyborg confronts, then punches Angela Magana at UFC retreat

Cris Cyborg punched UFC strawweight Angela Magana in Las Vegas.

The UFC gathered many of their contracted athletes in Las Vegas for an Athletes’ retreat, where an altercation between two female fighters occurred.

According to multiple reports and social media posts, Cris Cyborg confronted Angela Magana about her past insults on twitter. Shortly after, the dominant featherweight champ punched the much smaller fighter in Magana.

MMA Fighting states that one of the tweets that offended Cyborg was the one seen below. The original photo was from Cris’ visit to cancer patients in Brazil, and according to the report, her father is battling cancer as well.
