Cris Cyborg unloads on Amanda Nunes for pushing superfight to December

It seems inevitable that UFC champions Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes will fight in 2018, but the back and forth on the date and location bothers the featherweight queen.

Coming off a first-round finish over Yana Kunitskaya in March, improving to 5-0 in the UFC, Cyborg was hoping to fight around September, but Nunes has already announced on social media that she has signed a contract to face Cyborg on Dec. 29.

Unhappy with the possibility of fighting only twice in 2018, Cyborg unloaded on Nunes’ request to push back the date of the superfight and suggested she’s willing to face a featherweight contender before taking on the fellow Brazilian on the final card of the year.
