Invicta featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino has been successful in the UFC so far. Her two fights against Leslie Smith and Lisa Lansberg respectively ended in dominant wins, both via early TKO stoppage.

Cyborg’s wins had apparently made the UFC decide to create a women’s featherweight belt for her, after stating that she would no longer compete at 140 pounds since it has been too brutal of a weight cut for her. But according to UFC president Dana White, Cyborg actually turned down two featherweight title fights against Germaine de Randamie and Holly Holm. .

“What’s crazy about that is this: I offered Cris Cyborg a title fight at 145 pounds a month ago. She had eight weeks to get ready for it, she said she couldn’t make the weight, said she couldn’t make 145 pounds,” White said during the December 6th episode of the UFC Unfiltered podcast (via MMA Fighting).

“So then I offered her another 145-pound title fight for Brooklyn (UFC 208), she turned it down. She turned down two 145-pound title fights. One because she said she couldn’t make 145 pounds in eight weeks, and Joe Silva’s like, ‘If she can’t make 145 pounds in eight weeks, 145 isn’t the right weight class for her either.’”

Cyborg went on to respond to White’s statements through a lengthy one of her own. In the said response she sent to MMA Fighting, Cyborg also revealed that she had permanently severed her ties with nutritionist George Lockhart.
