Earlier this month, the UFC flew the majority of its roster out to Las Vegas, Nevada for a special, weekend-long athletes retreat. Unsurprisingly, this weekend produced several tense moments between fighters<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The most high-profile run-in featured UFC strawweight Angela Magana and featherweight star Cris “Cyborg” Justino. The incident, which stemmed from some nasty comments Magana made about Cyborg online, ended with Cyborg punching Magana in the face<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Despite being widely perceived as the instigator of the incident, Magana is now pressing charges against Cyborg. This ugly twist has influenced may of the pair’s fellow fighters to weigh in on the situation. The latest to do so is UFC interim featherweight champ Max Holloway.<\/p>\n

Speaking at a recent promotional event for his UFC 212 fight with Jose Aldo, Holloway gave his take on the drama.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cUFC has this nice new facility,\u201d Holloway said (via MMAFighting.com<\/a>). \u201cThey should have just went inside. I would have told Cyborg \u2014 if I was Cyborg, I would have told her, we\u2019ve got this new facility, they\u2019ve got a ring in there, let\u2019s put on 16-ounce gloves and try to take each other down, then shake hands and go our way. That\u2019s what I would have done.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Though he believes things unfolded unfavorably, he also believes that that Magana should have known what was coming.<\/p>\n

\n

\u201cAt the end of the day, if you\u2019re going to talk shit on Twitter, and you\u2019re going to see this person, you gotta think that something\u2019s going to happen, you know?,\u201d Holloway said. \u201cAnd then when someone\u2019s in your face, that close and whatever, it\u2019s just like, you need to be fight-ready.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

\n
\n

\u201cIt\u2019s a fighter thing, you know?\u201d he said. \u201c[If] I [was] talking all this sh*t on Twitter, you know, you got punched in the face, you should have punched me back. Or, I\u2019m going to punch you back, like \u2018boom, boom.\u2019 You move real fast, it\u2019s a fight, it is what it is.\u201d<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<\/div>\n

\n

\u00a0What’s your take on this unfortunate Cyborg-Magana drama? Is Max Holloway right?<\/p>\n
