According to Cris Cyborg, Bellator treats its fighters like stars and the promoters of the organization do not try to steal the spotlight from them. She went on to urge all fighters, including Jones, to join Bellator if they want to be treated right. This statement could also be seen as Cyborg taking a shot at UFC President Dana White.
Jon Jones is currently at loggerheads with the UFC regarding his payment. The fighter wants to get paid somewhere around $50 million for a potential fight against Francis Ngannou. However, with the UFC not willing to budge, Jones has threatened to quit the promotion.
Cyborg’s latest tweet might be an attempt to bring ‘Bones’ to Bellator by taking advantage of his rocky relationship with the UFC right now.
Cris Cyborg and UFC President Dana White do not like each other
Since her exit from the UFC in 2019, Cris Cyborg has lashed out at the promotion and its President on several occasions. Cyborg and White had a rocky relationship following the former champ’s loss to Amanda Nunes. According to White, Cyborg shied away from accepting the rematch with Nunes because she’s afraid of her Brazilian counterpart.
Refuting White’s claims, Cris Cyborg said she isn’t afraid of anyone and even branded White a liar. She further posted a controversial backstage video featuring herself and Dana White in the aftermath of her fight at UFC 240. In the video, Cyborg is seen asking White to stop lying.
However, Cris Cyborg later apologized to White for the video and admitted it was doctored to make it seem the way she wanted it to. She said though she disagrees with White on various issues, it was wrong on her part to share the doctored video.
