Cindy Dandois Not Happy to Miss Out on Invicta FC 15 Bout

Cindy Dandois spoke with MMAjunkie on losing her spot in a headlining bout against Cyborg Justino at Invicta FC 15. Justino is instead facing Daria Ibragimova at the event. Check out the highlights:

On losing out on a fight with Cyborg Justino at Invictia FC 15: “That was actually really bad luck for me because I came out for (the TUF tryouts) here (in Las Vegas). I was supposed to fight Cris ‘Cyborg’ at the next Invicta show. But, for some other reason, Julie (Kedzie) cut me off because Cris couldn’t make 140 anymore. But she didn’t even ask to give me the fight at 145. I would have at least spoke about it. I would have to change some things with my weight or something. They gave it to a girl who has like 9-1 record. The one loss was against me. I don’t really get it.”

On missing the financial opportunity: “I’m off the card and Julie only told me after it was already announced. I asked her a few days before what was going to happen. I understand she will not be able to make 140, just let me know. She was like, ‘Oh, I will tell you tomorrow.’ Tomorrow there was nothing said. A few days passed and I kept on training and took away from my job for two months. I really counted on that money because I have a lot of kids at home to take care of. Three kids and two extra. I’m raising almost five kids now. I was really counting on that, so just cutting me off without even asking if I would take the fight at 145 and giving it to a Russian girl I have a submission over in the first round, that really hurt me. I was really emotional about it. I really adore (Invicta FC President) Shannon (Knapp), but I feel like Julie is doing a poor job.”
