The UFC women’s featherweight champion has further motivation to win her upcoming super-fight against bantamweight titleholder, Amanda Nunes. In a recent interview, Cristiane ‘Cyborg’ Justino told news website Fansided that she considers her opponent to be a traitor of her team and wishes to teach her respect when they meet in December.
In Cyborg’s opinion, Nunes betrayed her country when she moved her camp to American Top Team and started saying she represents them and not Brazil anymore.
“Creonte’ is a Brazilian word that means traitor,” Justino told FanSided. “I think it’s embarrassing that the UFC made Amanda the first female Brazilian champion and instead of representing Brazil when she fights, she calls herself American Top Team.
