After Losing Title Shot, Sijara Eubanks Tells UFC ‘Quit Running This Thing Like a Circus’

Sijara Eubanks is upset, and justifiably so, after being spurned by the UFC for a title shot.

The Las Vegas-based promotion recently announced Eubanks would face Valentina Shevchenko for the vacant women’s flyweight title in the UFC 230 headliner at Madison Square Garden in New York on Nov. 3.

However, on Tuesday, the organization reversed course and revealed that Daniel Cormier would defend his heavyweight crown against Derrick Lewis in the new UFC 230 main event. Meanwhile, Shevchenko was moved back to UFC 231 against Joanna Jedrzejczyk in a previously announced matchup.
