Could Cris Cyborg be back in the Octagon sooner than many thought?
Cyborg’s attorney Howard Jacobs confirmed to MMA Fighting on Friday that she is in the process of applying for a retroactive therapeutic use exemption (TUE) for the banned diuretic she tested positive for in December. ESPN was the first to report on the matter Friday.
Jacobs told MMA Fighting that Cyborg’s team just submitted “additional information that had been requested” by USADA’s TUE committee. He said that fact that they asked for more information is a good thing for Cyborg’s case.
