Twitter War Erupts Between Cat Zingano And Cris Cyborg

Cris Cyborg added another championship to her impressive collection on Saturday night at UFC 214, but the win did not come with out controversy.  Cyborg was originally scheduled to face off against then defending UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion, Germaine de Randamie this past Saturday night in Anaheim. de Randmie refused to fight the former Invicta and Strikeforce champion, due to the Brazilian fighter’s history of PED use. Instead Cyborg (real last name Justino), would face now former Invicta FC Featherweight Champion Megan Anderson, but Anderson pulled out of the fight due to personal reasons and Cyborg ended up facing Tonya Evinger in Anaheim.

It now seems that now another potential pairing was on the table according to Cat Zingano, leading to twitter smack talk between the two fighters.

If Cris Cyborg hadn’t blocked my on social media, I’d remind her that she declined fighting me for the first 145 belt @ufc #keeptalkinfocker pic.twitter.com/fhjsUxHnsX

This comment comes after Cyborg claimed on her personal twitter feed that Zingano and Holm turned down fights against her at UFC 198.

I accepted Cat and Holly as an opponent for both #ufc198 and #ufcbrasilia and was told neither would fight me in Brazil. #TheMMAHour

I asked for both to replace @MeganA_mma when she pulled out after making such a capaign for the fight and was told they both declined

They should have fought me at 140. I’m the best I’ve ever been in my career with my return to 145 and am ready for either next.

Cyborg would later reply with another tweet aimed at Zingano.

Hmmmm…I thought you were sick or something? They called and offered you July 29th what happened? Was your injury any more real than mine? https://t.co/3OA5pZ7taY
