A photographer on staff at the Jackson-Wink MMA Academy today apologized on social media after referring to UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg as a man. Mark Aragon, the famed gym’s media director, wrote ( via Instagram ): “I am embarrassed by my actions and I sincerely apologize to @criscyborg 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 (sic) Jacksonwink who were effected by that insincere post.” The apology came one day after Aragon’s initial post triggered anger online, with several media members and MMA fans taking him to task for his words about Cyborg (18-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who beat ex-UFC bantamweight champion and Jackson-Wink product Holly Holm (11-3 MMA, 4-3 UFC) in the headliner of this past Saturday’s pay-per-view event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas.
