Cris Cyborg Says She Has Agreed to Fight Amanda Nunes at UFC 226

[Zelig]

I hope Amanda says no, make her lose muscle mass and come to 135 if she wants fights, this is silly, a 145 lb. champ that only fights 135 lb. women.. you're telling me if Cyborg went on "naked and afraid" that she'd weigh 144 at the end of the show? fake news

 

[Mmaprovost]

I remember going to international fight week to watch her last year

 

[Matthew Fedler]

So TJ vs DJ and Cyborg vs Nunes for 226. Hopefully they go all in and book Stipe vs DC too.

 

[Eater of Souls]

Great for LGBT community.. Get the hell outta here with that

Given that she has received awards from them, how is this not the case?

 

[Marty777]

How is fighting bums a superfight?

 

[Big Al's Texas BBQ]

Straw-weight is the only women's division I give a fuck about anymore. Better fighters and hotter too.

 

[Koro_11]

RIP Nunes.

 

[Locooo]

Why is it silly for a smaller champ to move up and challenge a larger champ but not the other way around? Do you really think Cyborg can make 135 now?

Also, weird AF reference at the end lol

 

[Locooo]

RIP Nunes.

you mean we wont be getting fed with his ugly smirk, and uncordinated face, threatening girls in broken english with that smoothness of a gorilla ?

 

[mirror45]

This fight will end in a decision or late finish

 

[Jopious Extronimous]

Why wait until July?

That seems like just enough time to have Cyborg change her mind 14 times and end up telling us she's a victim because Dana won't let her fight Cindy Dandois instead. I bet this fight never happens.

 

[Kal-El]

I'm definitely in the minority but i like Nunes. Tough fight but she's game, throws bombs and has a good chance.

It's weird to even suggest a champion should move down to fight smaller opponents; champs have been moving up to fight bigger opponents forever; you don't go down in weight unless you can't cut it against the bigger fighters.

 

[kimocomplex]

Because Cyborg vs Sorenson sells about 1k in PPVs

Lmao at Cyborg even trying to use that during negotiations

Oh Cyborg and Tito smh

 

[UhHuhSure]

After all that BS, Nunes last fight sucked so bad. I hope Cris collects another KO.

 

[PurpleStorm]

Hopefully Amanda gets some cash as well. She is a great fighter, has worked very hard to improve her English, and not a hint of scandal. Great representative of the LGBT community, etc. Really, once you overlook the idiocy of your average Sherdog poster, a marketing push for Amanda could do the UFC a lot of good in reaching areas of the market that they do not seem to focus on (meaning, the non high-school idiot and non drunken redneck types).

LOL. True dat.

 

[ejazahmednit]

quite the flip flop happening for this fight
hopefully it gets made, could be a great scrap
Cyborg ll take it

 

[peytonlucy]

Cyborg will beat her into heterosexuality.

You've been in a superfight?
