Cyborg & Dana White Helping Cancer Survivor At UFC 214

MMA

Cristiane ?Cyborg? Justino is facing Tonya Evinger for the vacant UFC Women?s Featherweight Title tonight at UFC 214.

Ashlynn (no last name given) won the ?Cyborgnation? fan contest on Youtube and is also a cancer survivor.

For winning the contest, the cancer survivor will get backstage access to meet fighters and also watch the UFC 214 card with cage side seats.

?For me, she?s the real champ,? Cyborg said at the UFC 214 open workouts.

One opportunity Ashlynn was supposed to receive was to walk on stage with Cyborg during the UFC 214 ceremonial weigh-in, but logistical issues have prevented that from happening.

This is where UFC President Dana White stepped in, because he is giving Ashlynn backstage access to the fighters after the ceremonial weigh-in and he has upgraded her seating at UFC 214 to his personal seating section.

Cyborg made the announcement via Instagram:

 

UFC 214 takes place on Saturday, July 29 from the Honda Center in Anaheim, California with Daniel Cormier and Jon Jones headlining. Fightful is providing live coverage of the event, with a post-show podcast to follow.
