Could Cris Cyborg be fighting for Scott Coker once again? After Dana White announced that they’re “out of the Cyborg business,” the Bellator CEO expressed interest in working with her again, much like they did during her Strikeforce days.

“That’s great news. I’ll be calling (Cyborg’s manager) Audie (Attar),” Coker told MMA Junkie Friday night. He also noted that he will first have to make sure that the UFC is indeed waiving that exclusive negotiation period and that Cyborg is a free agent.

Much like what he did in that announcement, White has constantly trashed Cyborg’s character and her recent (dominant) performance at UFC 240. As the long time featherweight queen headed…

Anyone else think this might be a negotiation strategy by Dana to get Cyborg to sign a Nunes rematch as part of a new deal?

I believe, and i quote "we are out of the cyborg business".

This is awesome news back home where she belongs. Where fighters don't constantly get ship on by the promoter that supposed to promote them.

This fight will be on repeat the entire day and night that she makes her debut with Bellator.

I almost feel like this whole squabble was a stunt on both ends to transition Cyborg to Bellator.

Dana being Dana and saying that Cyborg doesn't want to fight Nunes. Cyborg saying that she wants Nunes. Dana still saying that Cyborg doesn't want Nunes and wants easier fights while not saying that she's willing to fight Nunes but only if they pay her a lot more, etc. Cyborg's people do their normal bullshit and sabotage her by putting out a video of a backstage interaction where Dana appears to tell her that when he's talking on tv that he's "not telling... the truth." Dana gets pissed and puts out his own video where he says he's done with her and won't match any offers. Cyborg immediately puts out a post saying that her people doctored the video to make it sound like Dana was admitting he was lying and attached the unedited video probably because legal got involved and because she now has no leverage in any negotiations without the UFC in the mix.

Coker could offer her $10 and $10. No reason to give big contract if the UFC isn’t matching.
i think this is an example of Dana letting his desire to gloat and be 'right' makes for a bad business decision. He could have bluffed Bellator in to overpaying like crazy for Cyborg. But he had to be the one who broke up with her.
