Dana White not in favor of Nunes-Cyborg immediate rematch: ‘It was a pretty convincing win’

According to UFC president Dana White fans likely won’t see Cris Cyborg get an immediate rematch against Amanda Nunes.

Undefeated since her pro MMA debut in 2005, Cyborg attempted to defend the UFC women’s featherweight title for the third time against Nunes, the women’s bantamweight champion, in the co-main event of UFC 232 — which took place Saturday at The Forum in Inglewood, California. Nunes knocked out Cyborg in 51 seconds to become the UFC’s first female double champion.

At the event’s post-fight press conference, White made it clear that he does not believe Cyborg deserves an immediate crack at Nunes’ 145-pound title.
