The Brazilian Chris Cyborg received support from the UFC in the dispute with photographer Mark Aragon, employed by Jackson-Wink MMA, a Holly holm. Aragon used social media to call the featherweight champion a man, after seeing Holm lose to her at UFC 219 last Saturday (30). As a result, Ultimate decided to ban the professional from future events in the organization. The information is from the North American website MMA Fighting.

Cyborg herself had already asked for this measure to be taken in retaliation for Aragon's posts. She also demanded that Jackson-Wink MMA at least force him to apologize, which he also did via social media.
Ultimate sent a statement to the MMA Junkie website, explaining that it has already spoken with the Holly holm and warning that Aragon will no longer receive credentials to cover UFC events.
“The UFC is aware of and disturbed by recent statements made by a social media representative of the Jackson-Wink MMA gym in Albuquerque, New Mexico regarding the featherweight champion Chris Cyborg. The UFC does not condone or tolerate the terms that were used. The organization has spoken with the Jackson-Wink MMA team to inform them that the individual in question will no longer be accredited for future events,” the statement reads.
