Dana White Thinks Cyborg Has The Dumbest Guy In MMA Guiding Her Career
The ‘UFC World Tour’ wrapped up today in Brazil, and the hype train surrounding UFC 168’s Chris Weidman vs. Anderson Silva rematch is in full swing. However, with such a never-ending media blitz in the last week, a ton of relevant topics have been discussed by Dana White, the champ, and the challenger.
One of those topics is undoubtedly the current season of TUF, which has shown a rather nasty side of UFC Women’s Bantamweight champion Ronda Rousey. The show has caused quite the fan backlash, aimed at Rousey, and at least one fighter has echoed that sentiment. That fighter is current Invicta FC Featherweight champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino, who has long been rumored to face off against Rousey in the first female superfight of its kind.
But there have been a ton of roadblocks to that potentially spectacular bout, and many of them center around Justino’s manager, former UFC Light Heavyweight champion Tito Ortiz. Because of this, White revealed he doesn’t think the fight can happen at this point in time:
“Slim to none. She’s got a dummy running her business, who can’t run his own business. And apparently, [he’s] filling her full of … the last thing I would do, ever, is do anything with that knucklehead. I’m not taking about Cyborg, I’m referring to her manager.”
“She literally committed professional suicide [when she signed with him]. I mean, the dumbest guy in the sport – literally, LIT-ER-ALLY THE DUMBEST GUY IN THE SPORT – who has destroyed his own career, she has him guiding her career. It makes no sense.”
It’s no secret that Ortiz and White have a troubled past, their feud extending to the point of almost boxing each other years ago. I’m sure White would be willing to look past their differences if an agreeable weight, date, and venue could be agreed upon between Cyborg and Rousey.
If “Rowdy” continues to decimate every women put in her path, the UFC may have no choice but to somehow get Justino into the Octagon. It’s the biggest fight available in WMMA, and that includes Rousey’s rematch with Miesha Tate in the co-main event of UFC 168. Do you agree that the chances of this fight happening are slim to none?
