In case you didn’t know..
In the world of women’s MMA, there are only a handful of fighters who have been feared and respected. One such competitor goes by the name of Cris Cyborg, who amassed a long and undefeated record, spread across 13 long years since her only loss in 2005. This fairytale run in the sport was going to come to a shocking halt when Cyborg was slated to defend her women’s featherweight title against the firepower in Amanda Nunes, at the UFC 232 co-main event.
Following her win against Cyborg at UFC 232, Nunes went on to cement her legacy in the sport and redefine the current status of women’s mixed martial arts. This win over Cyborg also declared her to be the first ever women’s double-division champion, as she now holds both the 135 and 145-pound titles, at the same time.
The heart of the matter
In a recent interview on the UFC Unfiltered podcast with Jim Norton and Matt Serra, Amanda Nunes was seen undermining the performance of her UFC 232 counterpart, Cris Cyborg.
Nunes also went on to say that Cyborg will have to wait another two years for a rematch with ‘The Lioness,’ which seemed to be a response to the bickering between the two during their pre-fight presser, leading up to their UFC 232 clash.
What’s next?
Following her championship performance at UFC 232, Nunes has shown interest in defending her 135-pound title next, after her recovery process comes to an end. Who do you think ‘The Lioness’ should face in the Octagon next?
