“So apparently there was a little bit of drama today because USADA went to Cyborg’s house and I know I’ve been the topic of interest a lot on her social media and I don’t mind fighters trying to promote fights, that’s fine, but let’s be real for a minute.
“She said she’s been tested by USADA and wants to be tested just as much, and she probably should have looked on their public records on the USADA web page and seen I’ve been tested nine times compared to her eight. I’m in no race, I really don’t care, I just know I compete clean and they test me all the time. So, I just never needed an applause for passing my tests. In the meantime, I’ll just spend my time training and she can spend her time complaining and making false accusations and false memes.”
Holm also posted two screenshots of USADA website and said she was actually tested more than Cyborg like nine times to eight this year.
“She said she’s being tested by USADA and wants me to be tested just as much, and she probably should have looked at the public records on the USADA webpage and seen I’ve been tested nine times compared to her eight,” Holm says. “I’m in no race, and I really don’t care. I just know I can complete clean, and they can test me all the time. So, I just never needed an applause for passing my tests.
“In the mean time, I’ll just spend my time training, and she can spend her time complaining and making false accusations and false memes.”
Cris Cyborg longtime manager George Prajin is still in talks with UFC to get a real deal to fight Holly Holm, currently, nothing is finalized yet. Let’s see if they meet at UFC 219 Cyborg would be looking for her first UFC title defense against Holm.
