Sijara Eubanks Unleashes Wrath On UFC After Losing Title Shot
However, a switch was pulled by the promotion, who opted to instead have Daniel Cormier defend the UFC Heavyweight Title against Derrick Lewis in the main event of the show.
To make the situation worse for Eubanks, another move was made by the promotional brass to have Shevchenko fight former UFC Women’s Strawweight Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the gold in the co-main event of UFC 231.
Eubanks would then take to Twitter to unleash some hate towards the UFC for the lost opportunities.
Things would start off with a tweet that has since been deleted, where Eubanks said:
“@danawhite @Mickmaynard2 buncha fuckin cowards!! You pull me from this thing and you’ll regret it!”
Put me under card. Put me co main. I don’t care. But put me in for the Flyweight title shot! @danawhite @Mickmaynard2 IVE EARNED MY SHOT. THIS IS MY TIME. Quit running this thing like a circus
