UFC champ champ Amanada Nunes shot her shot.
A number of UFC fighters have expressed feelings ranging from discomfort to outrage over the massive purses the Paul Brothers have been pulling in as of late.
UFC heavyweight champion Francis Ngannou asked “What are we doing wrong?” And Paulo Costa called his a $350,000 offer from the UFC a ‘joke’ compared to what YouTubers are making in exhibition fights.
UFC President Dana White recently spoke with UFC Arabia about the current trend in celebrity boxing. His facetious take on the issue included some fantasy match-making with his most dominant champion and one of the world’s most famous people.
“Imagine if Kim Kardashian wanted to fight Amanda Nunes,” said White. “How big do you think that fight would be? It’d be huge! There’s always going to be a market for that kind of stuff. There’s always going to be people that are willing to put down 50 bucks for that.”
It didn’t take long for one of the greatest MMA fighters on the planet to chime in. She took to Twitter to ‘call out’ Kim K.
Hey @KimKardashian let’s do this? lol pic.twitter.com/wJwTjof307

“Let’s do this?” she wrote. Followed by ‘lol’.
As far as we know Kardashian has yet to respond to this very serious offer. We’ll keep you posted if anything develops, including if Nunes changes tact and decides to call out Paris Hilton instead.
