Dana White: UFC looking into 'very serious' incident between 'Cyborg' Justino, Angela Magana

LAS VEGAS – The UFC will wait to see what comes of a police investigation before addressing Cristiane Justino’s incident with Angela Magana that involved “Cyborg” allegedly punching Magana.

“Obviously we’re looking more into that,” UFC President Dana White said today in Las Vegas at the tryouts for “The Ultimate Fighter 26.” “It’s very serious. We’ll see what happens.

“This is a thing that the district attorney and police are handling right now. There’s way more to that than just what am I thinking about.”

Justino (17-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) confronted Magana (11-8 MMA, 0-2 UFC) and allegedly punched her on Sunday at the athlete summit, leading police to charge her with misdemeanor battery. As MMAjunkie previously reported, the Clark County district attorney’s office will decide whether or not to move forward with the case. A request for comment with the office is pending.

Misdemeanor assault carries a potential six-month jail sentence and $1,000 fine.

Justino reportedly was angry over pictures Magana posted on Twitter that mocked her appearance at a benefit for cancer patients. Justino’s reps declined comment on the incident, but today she released an extended post on her personal Facebook page that placed the blame on the UFC for promoting a culture that encourages bullying.

“When disparaging comments are made at the top, it sets an example that it is acceptable within the company, allowing lower ranking individuals to continuing following examples of leaders, establishing the culture and practices of the company,” Justino wrote.

The former Invicta FC champ has previously taken aim at White, who once referred to her as “Wanderlei Silva in a dress” before signing her to a long-term contract that first allowed her to compete in the all-female promotion.

Justino has gone 2-0 for the UFC in catchweight bouts at 140 pounds. But after a brutal weight cut for her second appearance, a beatdown of Lina Lansberg at UFC Fight Night 95, Justino has said she’ll only fight in her usual featherweight division.

The UFC offered Justino a shot at the inaugural featherweight title at UFC 208, but complications from her weight cut scratched the possibility. She then was flagged for a potential anti-doping violation, only to be cleared by the U.S. Anti-Doping Agency after being granted a therapeutic-use exemption.

Justino repeatedly has called out current featherweight champ Germaine de Randamie to no avail. At the athlete’s summit, she posed with current Invicta FC featherweight champ Megan Anderson to promote a hopeful UFC showdown.

Whether Justino’s plans come to fruition remain to be seen. White did not specify any punishment he is considering for the dominant fighter, who is expected to compete against a to-be-determined opponent at UFC 214 on July 29 in Anaheim, Calif.

Magana has vowed Justino will lose her job with the UFC and claimed the incident was spurred by “roid rage.”
