Cris Cyborg has lost a sponsor. The Apparel company (Grrrl clothing) took to their website to issue a public statement on the matter.
The statement reads:
PUBLIC STATEMENT REGARDING 12 MONTH SPONSORSHIP WITH CRIS CYBORG
“Unfortunately, within a matter of hours of appearing and speaking at our event, Cris was involved in “battery” of another fighter on the street outside a UFC retreat,” the statement read. “Cris’s conduct in this regard has broadly been condemned by the fight industry and the organization by whom she is contracted as a fighter.
“As a company with representation and brand ambassadors amongst girls as young as 6, we cannot publically [sic] condone this behaviour especially as the behaviour is directly in conflict with the messages Cris shared at the event, one of our speakers on cyber bullying and our company message to promote female harmony and unity.”
