Cris Cyborg has caused a frenzy in the MMA community by asking UFC CEO Dana White for a fight against Amanda Nunes! Cyborg made her last appearance inside the Octagon at UFC 240 in 2019, in a win against Felicia Spencer, following which she made her exit from the promotion. Meanwhile, Nunes, who defeated Cyborg at UFC 232 to secure the women’s featherweight title, announced her retirement from competition in 2023.

But Dana White’s recent announcement regarding the addition of Kayla Harrison to the UFC roster has caused Cyborg to request a rematch against Nunes! The updates have left the fans wondering if the historic UFC 300 will see the return of two giants of WMMA to the highly anticipated event!

As such, the fans were left stunned when Cris Cyborg recently shared on social media, “Dana…I would love to add #cyborgnunes2 onto the @UFC 300 card too.”

The reactions from the community flooded in, highlighting a mix of enthusiasm and references to their previous bout, acknowledging Nunes’s dominant performance!

Fans pointed out that the fight is important for the division.

“Now this is what the woman division needs”

Others wanted White to replace Weili Zhang’s fight at UFC 300 with the Nunes vs. Cyborg rematch.

“Move the weili fight to another card & add this for the vacant 145. Winner of Holly/harrison gets the next shot”

Nunes hints at plans to regain her championship titles 

Amanda Nunes, despite retiring in June 2023 and relinquishing her UFC titles, isn’t ruling out a potential comeback! While watching Raquel Pennington become the new bantamweight champion at UFC 297, Nunes expressed, “It was mixed feelings. I was happy and sad. When I saw ‘Rocky’ with the belt, I was OK. I wasn’t upset or anything like that.”

Despite enjoying a more normal life outside the gym, Nunes stated that she still feels the champion’s mentality and acknowledged, “But I’m still healthy and powerful, smart, think like a champion. I still feel like a champion, so we’ll see.”

With her unique achievements, including the rare ‘champ-champ’ distinction, Nunes’ comments indicate that she is poised to make a decision that could see her possibly return to the UFC in the coming months. The convergence of Cyborg’s challenge, Harrison’s arrival, fan anticipation for UFC 300, and Nunes’ contemplation create an intriguing narrative in the evolving landscape of women’s MMA!
