"Ovaj tip je vraški žilav" - napisao je fotograf iz Jackson-Winkeljohn tima Mark Aragon uz fotografiju Cris Cyborg, On je, važno je napomenuti, dobio propusnicu za event na priredbi na kojoj je Cyborg porazila predstavnicu spomenutog tima, Holly Holm.

Ne moramo ni posebno naglašavati o kakvom se neprimjerenom komentaru radi, pogotovo za osobu koja na neki način predstavlja borca i gym. Da ne govorimo o tome da Holly Holm očito sama takvo što nikada ne bi rekla u javnosti.

Cijena bi mogla biti skupa, jer iako se Mark Aragon ispričao (uz obrazloženje da ga je na to potaknuo navodni razgovor između Cris i njezinog tima, kada je Brazilka - tvrdi on - rekla da "kuja" Holm nije ništa mogla u klinču) Cris je zatražila od UFC-a da mu zabrani dolaske na buduće UFC priredbe. Uz to je i prihvatila Markovu ispriku.

Javili su se i iz tima, a oni se nisu baš odlučili ograditi od svega, već su napomenuli da postoje razlozi iz kojih je ovaj fotograf neprimjereno reagirao. Razlog koji su naveli je upravo onaj koji je Mark spomenuo na Instagramu.

 

It is not acceptable for an official representative of @hollyholm @jacksonwink_mma to call me transgender following my Fight. Their official photographer was given a backstage credential to attend the @UFC and I expect an apology or their ability to get credentials for future UFC events to be affected by these actions. @ma2_media 🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷🇧🇷 Não é aceitável que um representante oficial da @hollyholm @jacksonwink_mma me ligue transgênero na sequência da minha luta. Seu fotógrafo oficial recebeu uma credencial de bastidores para participar do @UFC e espero que uma desculpa ou sua capacidade de obter credenciais para futuros eventos do @ufc_brasil sejam afetadas por essas ações.

As the most hated photographer in the world today, I feel its necessary to comment on the recent fall out I’m causing for both Hollys and Cyborgs camps, and their respectful friends, fans, and families. At the conclusion of UFC 219, I took the final bus out of the arena back to the hotel and ended up on the same bus as Chris Cyborg and her team. As I sat in the back I began to hear them cheer and revel in their victory and discuss small parts of the event. A couple things really bothered me. I heard them laughing and commenting on a picture that renowned photographer Esther Lin took of Cyborgs toes literally in Hollys eye from a kick. Cyborg then went on to discuss how during clinches “the bitch” just “stayed and hugged her but she did nothing”. When I got back to the hotel I posted a picture with an inappropriate caption that everyone is now talking about. I was obviously acting out of anger and frustration. My personal emotions got in the way of my professional status which I failed to adhere to. But there is more to it, Cyborg leading up to the fight through her own Social Media accounts accused Holly and our camp of being the most drug failed camp ever. This is a totally fabricated lie and can’t be based on any merit whatsoever. Only one CURRENT athlete from our camp has ever been punished for USADA related issues and I was extremely frustrated with the perception that Cyborg and her fans had painted us as cheaters and losers. Jackson Wink had over 60 UFC fights throughout the world and hundreds of other fighters fighting all around the world at many different organizations. Every fighter has their home team based out of whatever country or state they hail from and come here for training, some of them with their own teams. We absolutely can’t be responsible for each and every one of their daily activities. That being said I am embarrassed by my actions and I sincerely apologize to @criscyborg riscyborg and her friends, fans, and most importantly her family for posting such an ugly misrepresentation of a great hard earned championship retention. I also want to apologize to the members of team Jacksonwink who were effected by that insincere post.
