#3 Felicia Spencer

Cris Cyborg vs Felicia Spencer

While this might not be the most important or most hyped Cris Cyborg fight, this is extremely important for different reasons.

It was well known that this was the last fight that Cris Cyborg was contracted to take part in for the UFC. She obliged, but surrounding the fight there existed a lot more bad blood than anyone had expected.

The bad blood was not between Cyborg and Spencer, ut was between the fighter and the UFC President, Dana White. White had been talking about how Cyborg did not want to fight Nunes, and there was a lot going on behind the scenes on both sides.

Eventually, this grew to be toxic and Cyborg never signed a contract with UFC following this fight, opting to leave. Thus now, she is signed with Bellator.
