To the Brazilian Cris Cyborg, she doesn't like to beat around the bush. And although the current featherweight champion (66 kilos) is one of the main stars of the UFC, she probably won't step into the octagon again after the super fight against Amanda Nunes (bantamweight champion, 61 kilos).
It turns out that this week it was confirmed that the much-anticipated fight between Brazilian champions will take place on December 29, as the main event of UFC 232. And this has greatly displeased Cris Cyborg, who didn't plan on waiting that long to fight again.
"I was offered to fight on September 8 and I accepted. But Amanda Nunes rejected it. I don't want to wait until December to fight again. And I don't think it's fair for the rest of the fighters to have to wait," said Cris Cyborg to Combate News.
"I think that against Amanda Nunes will be my last fight in the UFC. My contract goes until March, but if I fight in December, I think it will be my last fight in the UFC," added Cris Cyborg, who recently defended her belt against Yana Kunitskaya in March.

Since her arrival at the UFC in May 2016, Cris Cyborg has achieved four consecutive victories, all of which were by knockout or technical knockout. Her only win by unanimous decision was against former bantamweight champion Holly Holm.
