The details of the physical encounter between UFC fighters Cristiane Justino and Angela Magana were scarce when reports surfaced on Sunday of an incident between the two at the 2017 UFC Athlete Retreat in Las Vegas.
It was known for certain “Cyborg” (17-1 MMA, 2-0 UFC) threw and landed a punch on Magana (11-8 MMA, 0-2 UFC) after a confrontation between the two occurred stemming from several social media cracks directed at the Brazilian.
The tension spilled over when the pair came face-to-face, and less than 24 hours after everything went down, a piece of video has come to light.
Although the length and angle of the clip leave much to be desired, FanSided was able to obtain some footage, which features Justino and Magana trading obscenities before the punch is thrown and they are separated.
Justino has been largely quite since everything unfolded. Magana, however, has taken to social media and discussed the situation openly. According to a report from TMZ, Justino was cited for battery following the incident and will have to appear in court.
