UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino has been pushing for a bout against former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm at UFC 🌠219.
Cyborg has also been tested multiple🧸 times by the United States Anti-Doping Agency (USADA) and she isn’t too pleased about ♕that.
The women’s feather🐻weight champion took to both Instagram and Twitter to complain about the assortment of tests, plus the apparent lack of testing for her potential future opponent in Holm.
3th visit from USADA in less than a month.

Holm, who has stated in the past that she is willing to fight Cyborg, issued🏅 responses of her own through Twitter🗹 and Instagram:
I've actually just wasted a minute of my life on this꧙ video.
— Holly Holm (@HollyHolm)
Her♚e is a transcript of what Holm said in her𒉰 Instagram video:
“She said she’s being tested by USADA and wants me to be tested just as much, and she probably should have looked at the public records on the USADA webpage and seen I’ve been tested nine times compared to her eight. I’m in no race, and I really don’t care. I just know I can complete clean, and they can test me all the time. So, I just never needed an appl🐷ause for passing my tests. In the mean time, I’ll just spend my time training, and she can spend her time complaining and making false accusations and false memes.”
According to the , it has been Holm who has been 🦋tested more than Cyborg since the program began. In just 2017, the database shows that Holm had been tested 9 times, while C💧yborg had been tested 8 times.
Overall, the USA𒉰DA database shows that Holm has been tested 26 times since USADA joined the UFC, while Cyborg had been tested 22 times. Th✨e database gets updated on a weekly basis and the latest update took place on October 11.
USADA has yet to issue any statement of their own about Cyborg’s newest claims, but they have had run ins with the fighter before. The most notable of those run ins took place in December of 2016, when Cyborg was notified of a potential violation for an out of comp🐻etition drug test, but she was cleared to compete again by February of 2017.
