Heavyweight MMA fighter Destanie Yarbrough is not happy with Gabi Garcia’s choice of opponent branding it a “joke” and a “freak show”. Earlier it was announced Gabi Garcia would be returning to action on December 31st to face 52 year old retired pro-wrestler and MMA star Shinobu Kandori for Rizin FC.

Yarbrough faced Garcia back in September losing the bout via a keylock. She’s not happy with Garcia’s latest opponent announcement and told us “So sad she won’t rematch me but will fight her. Completely a joke.” She continued “Rizin likes freaks shows. I guess this is what they want. Yeah I want a rematch eventually cause she’s not the baddest on the planet.”

Yarbrough also claims Garcia isn’t necessarily the best fighter but due to an unfair advantage and lack of competition she seems better than she is, she said “She’s always been like that though, weight and size advantage. Even when she was in Jiu-Jitsu. She doesn’t strike me as the best but with low numbers in our division it is easy to be blinded by her record. Not trying to throw shade but she’s in the same spot cyborg was in before she signed to UFC.”
