Cris Cyborg may have her sights set on the exit door from the UFC if she is granted a fight with Amanda Nunes.
This isn’t the first time that UFC women’s featherweight champion has dropped a hint about leaving the UFC as she has stated in the past that she would like to make the transition from MMA to boxing but the only problem with that plan is the fact that she is under contract with the Las Vegas-based promotion for the time being, which will force her to fight out the remaining fights on that current deal.
As seen in the main event of the UFC 222 event on pay-per-view at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada, Cyborg successfully retained her title against newcomer Yana Kunitskaya by picking up a TKO win in the first round. This marked her latest bout with the promotion.
Just back in May, Cyborg stated in an interview at the HBO Boxing’s event featuring female welterweight champion Cecilia Braekhus that she plans to fight out her UFC contract that has two fights left on it and then make the move to boxing for a potential bout with Braekhus.
Earlier this week, Cyborg and UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes teased fighting each other at either the UFC 228 or UFC 232 event, which would allow her to fight that last bout of her contract and wait until March where her contract with the UFC would expire.
“I think this fight will be my last in the UFC, because my contract expires in March,” Cyborg told Brazilian television show Combate News, “and doing this fight in December, I think it will be the last that people will see me fight.”
One of the main reasons that Cyborg wants to depart is due to the fact that she feels that the UFC hasn’t built the featherweight division to create contenders to challenge her for the belt despite the fact that the upcoming season of The Ultimate Fighter will feature female featherweights including Leah Letson, Larissa Pacheco, Marciea Allen, Pannie Kianzad, Bea Malecki, Julija Stoliarenko, Katharina Lehner, and Macy Chiasson.
“They are doing the TUF house and cut all the girls from 145,” Cyborg said. “They only added girls that can make 135. Holly Holm said she doesn’t want to fight now. There’s Pam Sorenson, she tried out for TUF and didn’t make it, I think they didn’t add her because she can’t make 135. There’s Cindy Dandois, who beat Megan Anderson as well. There’s Ediane Gomes, who sends me messages challenging me all the time, who is also from my division.
”There are girls that can fight, from my division. But they don’t want that, they only want me to fight Amanda. But we have to wait 10 months, almost a year to make this fight happen.”
The UFC has tried to book Cyborg vs. Nunes for the last year or so but has yet to be successful and although this is a fight that most fight fans want to see, if the fighters can’t get on the same page and wait too long, the desire to see this fight happen may decline.

The early betting odds for the potential fight between Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes have been released.
Earlier this week, both fighters got fans talking after they teased this super fight happening but the only problem with it was due to the fact that they had two different dates listed.
In case you missed it, Cyborg recently took to her official Twitter account to call out Nunes for a fight at the upcoming UFC 228 pay-per-view (PPV) event as she is itching to get back into the cage while Nunes said that she has agreed to sign a bout contract to make the fight happen but the only issue is the fact that she wants to wait a bit longer in order to make it happen as she wants the fight to go down at the UFC 232 pay-per-view event.
The UFC 228 pay-per-view event is set to take place on Saturday, September 8, 2018 in Dallas, Texas at the American Airlines Center while the UFC 232 PPV event is slated to go down on December 29th in Las Vegas, Nevada at the T-Mobile Arena.
According to odds released by online bookmaker Bovada, Cyborg (-300) opened as a massive 3-to-1 betting favorite over Nunes (+230).
Cyborg (20-1, 1 NC) is widely regarded as the best female fighter in the world with her only loss of her pro-MMA career thus far came back in 2005 when she made her professional debut and is coming off a big win over Yana Kunitskaya to retain her UFC women’s featherweight strap in March via the first-round TKO.
On the flip side, Nunes (16-4) is fresh off a successful women’s bantamweight title defense over Raquel Pennington in May which was her seventh in a row to go along with her list of wins over some of the biggest names in the sport including Ronda Rousey, Miesha Tate, and Valentina Shevchenko. If she is able to win this fight then it would mark the fact that she would become just the third fighter in UFC history to be a champion in two weight classes at the same time, which would no doubt be pretty impressive.
As of this writing, the UFC has yet to make this fight official but let’s hope that they can come to an agreement shortly and finally book it already.
