Cris Cyborg is not against fighting Amanda Nunes in the UFC. But before she does, she wants the UFC to meet her half way on a few things.
When Nunes and her team began asking for a meeting between the two champions, the UFC women’s featherweight champion was initially uninterested. Instead, Cyborg says, she feels a responsibility as the face of the 145-pound division to help grow a weight class that is currently hugely lacking in any depth and quality of athletes.
That’s why when the UFC come knocking on her door to meet Nunes in the cage, Cyborg is making sure it’s known she isn’t turning down the fight, she just wants to fight a real 145-pounder first to help kickstart her weight class.
“If she wants to do this fight, it’s okay, it’s welcome to happen this fight,” Cyborg said, speaking on MMAFighting’s The MMA Hour. “I have three fights on my contract, and I [don’t] have any problem to fight her. But I want the UFC to invest in my division...

I can fight Amanda, I think Amanda can have her opportunity for sure. [But I think first] somebody from 145, I think deserve the opportunity first than her. And if Amanda is a super fight, I want to fight her on a big event. A big card, so it can sell pay-per-view. Because Amanda doesn’t sell pay-per-views. Amanda, she barely makes almost 100,000 pay-per-views. [Beating her doesn’t] changing my career at 145, and she doesn’t sell pay-per-views.

“[It’ll be] a pleasure, I was [respecting] her because she’s Brazilian, but you call me out prepare yourself, because I gonna kill you in the cage. We gonna be fight.”
