Julianna Pena pulled off one of the biggest upsets in the promotion’s history at UFC 269. She defeated the two-division champion, Amanda Nunes, via submission in the second round of their bantamweight title bout.

It was a historic moment and many MMA athletes reacted to Pena’s win. One of them was current Bellator champion Cris Cyborg.

Cyborg took to her official Twitter account and congratulated ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’ for her victory. However, the former UFC fighter also hinted at a rematch against her rival, ‘The Lioness’. In the caption, Cyborg wrote, “congrats @VenezuelanVixen #CyborgVsNunes2.”

Previously, Cyborg and Nunes had crossed paths at UFC 232 for the featherweight belt. At the event, ‘The Lioness’ finished Cyborg to become the first female two-division champion in the UFC. Ever since then, the former champion has been asking for a rematch against Nunes.

However, after one more fight, Cyborg departed from the UFC and joined Bellator. Hence, the rematch never saw the light of the day. Even now, it might not be contractually possible, as both the fighters compete in different MMA promotions.

Before responding to a clash against Cyborg, Nunes may want to regain her title.

After losing to ‘The Venezuelan Vixen’, ‘The Lioness’ will want to regain her bantamweight gold. The 21-5 fighter hinted at the same in her post-fight interview as well.

Interestingly, the new champion has agreed to give Nunes the title rematch. In her backstage interview with Megan Olivi of ESPN MMA, Pena said, “We can do it tomorrow. Next week’s good for me. Maybe the week after that whenever.”

She added, “Honestly, on a serious note, I have been in the camp for a year. My daughter really deserves a vacation, she deserves time away with mom and family and just a great time to be together with her.”
