Cris Cyborg Punched Angela Magana, Police Called at UFC Fighter Retreat
Cris “Cyborg” Justino and Angela Magana were reportedly involved in a physical altercation at the UFC Athlete Retreat over the weekend.
The incident apparently took place outside the fighter hotel when Cyborg confronted Magana over the numerous social media jabs she's taken at Cyborg. Magana has consistently posted sharp comments about Cyborg's past anti-doping infractions, as well as taking personal shots at her over her looks and the like.

The two had words, which quickly escalated to the point of Cyborg punching Magana in the face. Some reports say she was wobbled, but didn't go down, while Magana's friend Bec Rawlings tweeted that, “Magana was not rocked… but does have a busted lip.” She later added that she thought Cyborg almost immediately regretted the incident.

Magana was rocked but didn't fall to the ground. It was broken up after. Cyborg has been very upset about some personal tweets from Magana.
