Former Women’s Featherweight champion Cris Cyborg was spotted at the WWE Performance Center in Florida.
Cyborg is coming off a shocking loss to Amanda Nunes at UFC 232 and has been vocal about trying to get an instant rematch, though Dana White and Nunes herself have shut down the idea.
Cyborg has one fight left on her contract for the promotion and was clearly unhappy with the UFC and how the featherweight division is being treated in general. Cyborg has previously teased that she would be open to go to the WWE, more so for a match against long time rival Ronda Rousey.
However, this could also be a power play for the former featherweight champion. Two-time UFC Heavyweight champion Cain Velasquez helped train at the WWE performance center in July; however, the move was done to make a statement to Dana White and company officials. Cain wanted to show UFC that he had other options, in order to sweeten his deal with the promotion.
Fightful’s Sean Ross Sapp says Cyborg offered the following comments in regards to her appearing at the PC: “Can you really call it a Royal Rumble if it didn’t have Cyborg Nation?”
