On a day when the online war of words between Conor McGregor and Khabib Nurmagomedov flared up to the point of the UFC stepping, one former champion believes the time has come for fighters to raise their standards for how they conduct themselves.
Former UFC, Strikeforce, and Invicta champion Cris Cyborg, who recently went on a humanitarian mission to bring clean drinking water to remote villages in Uganda, tweeted Wednesday night that she would like to see the UFC initiate a code of conduct for online behavior similar to those utilized by major sports leagues.
“Now that the sport is on @ESPN we are in the homes of more kids! We need to unite not divide…this is what sports are for!” Cyborg wrote.
With McGregor and Nurmagomedov making horrible accusations toward one another in an escalating fashion over the course of two days, the words of the person many consider the best women’s fighter in MMA history cut a stark contrast, giving fans and fighters alike something to consider.
Sometimes I wish athletes in the @ufc were held to a code of conduct similar to athletes in the @nfl @nba @mlb For The things they say online. Now that the sports is on @ESPN we are in the homes of more kids! We need to unite not divide…this is what sports are for! pic.twitter.com/Hpv3MEaxa6
