Justino, upset with several social media posts made by Magana about her, confronted the strawweight Magana during the UFC’s Athlete Retreat in Las Vegas on Sunday and allegedly punched her in the face as a crowd gathered to watch the altercation which has been brewing since the end of April.
A Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department report of the incident is not currently publicly available, the department confirmed the citation to ESPN.com.
"Rude tweets don't give you a license to battery people," Magana wrote on social media Monday, saying she was the victim of "roid rage." The 33-year-old claims she decided to press charges against the bigger Justino after speaking with police on the scene.
According to a report from TMZ, Magana was treated at a local hospital and diagnosed with an "acute head injury, cervical strain and laceration of the lip."
"Cyborg," who at 17-1 is currently regarded as the most dominant woman MMA, is fighting in the 145-pound division.
Magana (11-8) fights at 115 pounds but hasn't competed since 2015.
