UFC 259: Amanda Nunes open to Cyborg rematch but ‘she left’; ‘I’m never far away’ says Cris Justino
- Double champ ‘wouldn’t have any problem’ facing Justino again if she returns to UFC
- Dana White hints Julianna Pena could be next for ‘The Lioness’ at bantamweight
Amanda Nunes has no problem facing Cris “Cyborg” Justino again – and Bellator’s featherweight champion hinted she would still be up for the rematch.
“The Lioness” cemented her status as the female “GOAT” (greatest of all time) in December 2018 when she knocked out the Brazilian-American in 51 seconds to win the 145-pound title and become a dual division champ in the UFC.
The 32-year-old Nunes defended that belt for just the second time on Saturday, making light work of Megan Anderson in a first-round submission at UFC 259.
“If she [Cyborg] would stay I wouldn’t have any problem giving the rematch to her, but she left, that is not my fault,” Nunes said at the post-event press conference.
“I’m never too far away,” Cyborg wrote on social media, after hearing Nunes’ words.
