He Should Do Something Other Than Thinking About Himself Cris Cyborg Hits out at Dana White – Essentially Sports

Cris Cyborg and Dana White never had a steady relationship. The former UFC Womens Featherweight champion is not very fond of Dana Whites idea of Fight Island.

The current Bellator Womens Featherweight champion, Cyborg, appeared on The No-Sports Report with Jensen Karp. She mentioned that the rules of quarantine are uniformly applicable to everyone. Furthermore, Justino accused her former boss, Dana White, of being self-obsessed.

Everybody has to be quarantined, said Justino. Its the rules for everyone. You know a lot of people dont want to be home. A lot of people are struggling now, and I think he should do something (other) than just think about himself and boxing and MMA fights. I think its better to wait, like everyone respect everyone,she added.

Dana White floated the idea of fight island when state regulations forced him out of conducting events. However, it has remained an enigmatic thought as of yet. Fighters and analysts have discussed at lengths about it. But until there is a much more concrete announcement, there will be a shroud of uncertainty over the concept.

Before Cyborg, Bellators President Scott Coker also expressed his displeasure with Whites plans. Danas competitor, Scott, asserted that there are more important things in life right now than fighting. He also ridiculed the idea by comparing it to the Bruce Lee movie, Enter the Dragon.

The Bellator Womens Featherweight champ kept her views in-sync with that of the organization she fights for. She added that the plan can put the health of many people in jeopardy.

A fighter steps inside the Octagon all alone. However, the preparation before the fight involves interaction with other people. Furthermore, the fighter will get back together with his/her family after fighting.

Therefore, all such interactions will bring along with them the risk of the spread of the virus.

Even though the fighters have to be together for training, you could say, OK, Im going to make an event now. Do you think if you (did) say, OK, Cris, youre going to have a fight, Im going to have to make my team?

You know, I have to put my team together. We are going to be together, training. Then you put the risk of the family around you. You know, I think you had to wait and have respect for the process. Be patient.

Cyborgs split with the UFC happened after her loss against Amanda Nunes. The Brazilian decided against renewing her contract. From the time she has been in Bellator, she had argued that her current employer is much more employee-friendly than the UFC.
