Cris Cyborg gives her reaction to the news that her fight at the UFC 232 PPV was relocated to a different state. She’s slated to make her next title defense against UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes in the co-headliner.

After it was revealed one of Jon Jones’ test from earlier this month was found to have an ‘atypical finding.’ It led to the NSAC not licensing him and the UFC was forced to move UFC 232 to California. The UFC women’s featherweight champion released this video of her reaction to the news.

Intial Reaction

“This is crazy,” Cyborg said (H/T to MMAFighting). “They’re supposed to contact everybody. We’re partners. We’re partners. We can’t partner together and they don’t contact you before. But I was in touch with my manager and he didn’t know, too. He was buying gifts for his family. Nobody knows. Just really don’t like. How can you call media and not call your fighters? For you to prepare yourself before and handle things before. How long do they know this?”

The UFC 232 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Saturday, December 29, 2018 at the Forum in Inglewood, California.

Cyborg made it known that she had no plans on not fighting this weekend against Nunes. The reason for that is due to being one of the biggest fights in the history of female MMA and not wanting to delay it.

“I trained for this fight nine months,” Cyborg said. “I want to fight. I just feel upset about my fans, the people who bought a ticket. And about family that’s gonna come. But my thoughts continue, I’m gonna fight Amanda. It doesn’t matter where, if you move the city. This is really crazy because people bought a ticket, made plans for family in Las Vegas. But in my mind, I’m training, I’m ready, I was ready a long time ago for this fight. I really don’t want to change the date. I’m sad about the people who cannot come and make it [to] LA.”
