It’s official Amanda Nunes is set to defend her UFC Featherweight Title against Felicia Spencer.

The Bantamweight and 145-pound champion is looking to square up against Spencer in the CO-main event at her home soil in Brazil.

The Brazilian has finally got an opportunity to defend her position as the two-division champion. President Dana White confirmed that Nunes will take in Spencer at UFC 250.

If Amanda Nunes comes off with the win against Spencer in her title bout, making a little history is not the only thing she will be celebrating. The Lioness and her partner Nina Ansaroff Nunes are looking forward to bringing a little cub into their family.

The two fighters have decided on naming their child Reagan Ann Nunes. The due date seems to be sometime during the month of September.

The couple announced it only a couple hours ago with a post on social media, posing with a little dress and a pair of baby booties.

Nina Ansaroff is a Strawweight fighter and confirms that she will continue her career in the UFC after the baby has arrived.

Amanda Nunes defends her title at UFC 250

Nunes (19-4 MMA, 12-1 UFC) has become one of the greatest female martial artists, during her continuing 10-streak win. The Lioness annexed the featherweight title in a short yet dramatic win over Cris Cyborg. Striking her down in just 51 seconds. And taking the victory with an impressive knockout.

Nunes will become the first in UFC history to defend UFC titles across 2 different weight classes. Spencer is keen to stop the Brazilian from etching her name in record books of combat sports.
