Dana White backs Amanda Nunes, says there will be no immediate rematch with Cyborg

As one of the most dominant female fighters of all-time, Cyborg — real name Cristiane Justino — feels she’s deserving of an immediate rematch.
Nunes, however, has no interest in running it back with Justino. ‘The Lioness’ became the first female double champ in UFC history at UFC 232 but is planning to abandon the 145-pound division and return to 135 lbs. to defend her bantamweight title.
UFC president Dana White didn’t comment on the specifics of Nunes’ situation but re-iterated that there will be no immediate rematch with Cyborg.
