The UFC is putting its foot down regarding offensive comments written by a gym employee about women’s champion Cris Cyborg.
In a statement released Tuesday, the UFC said it would not be allowing JacksonWink MMA social media staffer and photographer Mark Aragon access to future events after he referred to Cyborg as a man multiple times in a social media post.
“UFC is aware and troubled with the recent statements made by a social media representative from the JacksonWink MMA Academy in Albuquerque, New Mexico as it concerns women’s featherweight champion, Cris Cyborg,” the UFC statement read.
“UFC does not condone or tolerate the remarks that were used. The organization has reached out to the JacksonWink team to inform them that the individual in question will not be granted access for future events.”
Aragon wrote the post Sunday after Cyborg defeated JacksonWink fighter Holly Holm to retain the UFC women’s featherweight title in the main event of UFC 219 in Las Vegas. Aragon, regarding Cyborg, wrote “this dude is tough as hell” and “Holly was the first one to make his nose bleed.”
