Even though they are both Brazilian Champions Amanda Nunes has asked for the opportunity to step up and fight Cris Cyborg. Cyborg who has accepted the bout with Nunes was unable to make it happen at UFC 222, and subsequently will now wait for Amanda Nunes to attempt to defend her belt May 12th in Rio De Janeiro Brazil at UFC 224.
Nunes who hasn’t fought since September when she won a very close and controversial decision against Flyweight Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 215.
