In the aftermath of last weekend’s UFC 219 event, Cris Cyborg found herself getting harassed online by an approved UFC media member, who also happened to be a teammate of Holly Holm.
The photographer made some disparaging remarks about the UFC champion, referring to her as a him and a he and a his, and his comments went viral fast.
In a post to his Instagram, he stated, “This dude is tough as hell! That being said at the press conference he said Holly was the first one to make his nose bleed! You are my hero [Holly Holm] see you back in the gym”
