UFC villain choked out after wardrobe malfunction
Cooper was in full control and attacking Magana’s chest from a sitting position. But as they fought, Magana’s sports bra was readjusted and UFC 218 viewers were given an eyeful. Fans will not be able to see the incident on replays as the UFC has removed 15 seconds of actual fight time from Round 1.
Referee Keith Peterson stopped the bout to allow Magana to cover her modesty, but she ultimately failed to impose herself in the fight and suffered a second-round TKO.
“I had an incredible time in #Detroit. Amanda was better & stronger lastnight. Congrats #ufc218 #ufc,” Magana wrote on Twitter. “As for me I absolutely can’t wait to get back to training & get another fight. Fighting is a process I learned so much in this journey for #ufc218. I watched my fight, happy w the challenge my stand up improved and now to work on improving more #mma #ufc.”
Magana has now gone over six years without a win but has kept herself in the headlines through social media zaniness. In one infamous example, Magana compared UFC women’s featherweight champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino’s looks to the main character from the “Saw” horror movie franchise. Whether the stoppage was deserved or not, Cooper believes Magana is not meant for the UFC.
“I don’t think the sport needs her. I don’t think the UFC needs her. Maybe she needs it,” Cooper said. “As soon as I called her out, she was on Twitter freaking out. I think she gets something out of it. I don’t mean to be mean, but I think she probably needed that a little bit. I don’t think the sport needs her, but I think she needs it.”
