[@planbmindset9475]

If she won you over in this interview, check out the footage of her feeding the homeless in Los Angeles after a fight, or her visiting children with cancer at a hospital. Cyborg has a heart of gold and she's sincere.

[@PRASHANTGUPTA-cs6ww]

Seriously I wasn't fan of her but man she has golden heart #Respect

[@joebanana4697]

I saw that! What an amazing woman.

[@maxwellmusick]

She's a roided druggie

[@zenbra_deutsch3500]

Great attitude, Cris Cyborg is a class act, didn't hide, showed no bitterness. I'm so upset though. Cris was all attack, no defense. Clipped Amanda with good shots but Amanda is a FW who moves down. Her arms are like trunk trees. She knows Cris liked to trap fighters against the cage. Amanda lured Cris there and after a great kick that unbalanced Cyborg good shot and used Cris Cyborg's game against her. Nunes is really great but licks Dana's feet. A a Brazilian Nunes's lack of self respect disgusts me personally. That's why I'm a 4ever Cyborg fan. #cyborgnation

King Melanin she’s a drug cheat.

Cyborg got a lot of respect for Nunes. I still think Nunes vs Cyborg should have been main card.

[@riven8351]

Meanwhile rondha has a break down and moves to wwe lol

[@carlDJS]

Same with DJ when he lost, I think some fighters who have been on very lengthy win streaks feel a sense of relief to have all the pressure off their shoulders once they take a loss.

[@zombiie64]

Riven she tried to killed herself.

I'm not going to lie I just started really looking at her fights and her videos. I think she has such a beautiful soul and a great great remodel for kids. I dont care that she used roids. she not dont coke and all type of drugs

I'm not sayingNunes has takend steroids in the past, but it's not out of the question, just wasn't caught.

[@MrAntonGorodetsky]

Just wanted to say btw the roids she got popped for were for weight loss....not weight gain. Im a fan so dont take my word.....google it! She was always huge naturally and openly documented her years long struggle to get smaller. But thats genuine Cyborg in the interview, she puts everything out there

I would love to see a rematch maybe that lasted a bit longer lmaoo

How WONDERFUL is Cris Cyborg?! Humble, realistic and to be honest she is inspirational. I relate to her, for whatever reason, and see her as a true champion. I can't say the same for Amanda Nunes and sure she won, deservedly so, and well done to her. But Cris has that innate warmth that makes her so special...Cris is people's champion in victory and loss.

Cyborg punches and moves too slow compared to Amanda. She also admitted in this interview that she didnt stick to the strategy set by her team. Cyborg is a true champion.

I get not having someone on the mic after a KO, but it really should be a case by case basis. Ask the fighter if they would like the mic. If they want it, give it to them. If not, don't. If they say they want it but don't sound in the right state of mind, let the doctor decide.

[@gregoryday6730]

True champion. I don't think she ever felt that kind of power and she panicked. She is use to walking through punches and imposing her will. This time that strategy didn't work and she paid for it. But if it had worked nobody would've have been saying anything. I think nunes is more technical amd precise when it comes to her striking so i think she would've edged cyborg on points. The only thing they've ever questioned about nunes really is her gas tank so i think they wanted to pressure and make her fight every minute of every round and gas out late and go for the k.o. but lioness was having none of that. I think cyborg lost to a more complete slightly smaller faster younger and more well rounded version of her self. There is somebody for everybody in the fight game and i think nunes is cyborgs one but great champion. She is humble in defeat and not making any excuses and i love it. She'll be back but i just think its nunes' time.
