Cyborg made her return to the Octagon nearly 8 months later, defeating a very tough Felicia Spencer by unanimous decision in the co-main event of UFC 240. That was her last contracted fight for the UFC and after a lot of back-and-forth negotiations, the Brazillian signed the most lucrative contract in Women’s MMA history with Bellator.
When talking to TMZ (H/T credits MMA Junkie), Cyborg revealed that she’s still interested in facing Amanda Nunes even though she’s signed to Bellator:
She said that she wants to have a cross-promotional UFC-Bellator fight in what would be a one-off:
While it would be great to see, the reality is that it’s very unlikely to happen. The biggest obstacle in her way isn’t Bellator management, it’s the UFC. Cyborg may claim that she wants the Nunes rematch, but before that, she’s going to have to face Julia Budd at The Forum on January 25th.
As for Nunes, she will be facing Germaine De Randamie at UFC 245 to end the year.
