The short-lived Cris Cyborg experiment has finished and the former Strikeforce star is likely to reunite with Scott Coker and sign with Bellator. She was 6-1 in the UFC with four of those wins coming by TKO. However she lost the big one, getting stretched by bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes last December. Cyborg is a one of a kind fighter who seems marketable and produces results but she never had a fan in Dana White for whatever reason. The UFC has graciously waived her three-month non-compete clause allowing her to negotiate with other promotions.
There are a few reasons Dana never seemed to like Cyborg. First and foremost, Cyborg was always the one everyone wanted to see fight Rousey and in many ways Ronda's biggest rival. Dana knew, like the rest of us, that Cyborg would have really hurt Ronda had they fought. So he viewed her as an enemy to his girl and his biggest draw at the time. Second, much like Nunes, Cris is not what most would consider a very attractive woman. DW is not a fan of women he can't market for their beauty. That is why he does not really push Nunes, and that is why his favorite fighters in the women's divisions have been PVS, Rousey, and Tate. Lastly, he also does not seem to really like Brazilian fighters. He has never liked Silva, Machida, Big Nog, and others in the same way as Chuck, Hughes, or Griffin.
