Dan Lambert scoffs at Amanda Nunes vs. Claressa Shields crossover fight

In the wake of her win over Germaine de Randamie at UFC 245, Amanda Nunes barely had a chance to celebrate before she fielded questions about a potential showdown with multi-division boxing champion Claressa Shields.

Shields was in attendance that night and told the assembled media that she wanted to challenge Nunes in a pair of fights: She would first cross over to MMA, and then Nunes would return the favor in a boxing match.

Nunes quickly shot down the idea of facing Shields on her turf, but she welcomed the two-time Olympic gold medalist testing herself with a move to the UFC.
