UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes could be taking on women’s featherweight champ Cris Cyborg at UFC 224 in Brazil according to Combate.
The superfight between two of the most dominant and vicious female champions the UFC has ever seen will reportedly be for Cyborg’s 145-pound title, meaning Nunes has an opportunity to become the first woman in UFC history to hold two titles simultaneously.
Cyborg’s division is completely bereft of contenders; the only other woman in the featherweight division for Cyborg to potentially fight, former champion Germaine de Randamie, refused to take on the Brazilian striker, going so far as to relinquish her belt and move back down to bantamweight to avoid the match-up. Cyborg has been linked to a bout with Invicta FC featherweight champ Megan Anderson, but the fight has yet to come even close to fruition.
This would be the first fight back in their native Brazil in nearly three years for both Nunes and Cyborg.
Nunes (15-4) will look to start the new year off in a big way after a tepid performance against Valentina Schevchenko at UFC 215, which went to a split decision. Before that, she blasted right through former champion Ronda Rousey in 48 seconds flat at 2016’s UFC 207.
Meanwhile, Cyborg (19-1) just defeated former bantamweight champion Holly Holm at UFC 219 on December 30, 2017.
UFC 224 will take place on May 12 in Rio De Janeiro.

New weight cutting rules may force UFC featherweight champion Max Holloway up a division, leaving “Blessed” at a potential career crossroads.
As Holloway prepares to defend his belt against Frankie Edgar at UFC 222, the 145-pound champ told The MMA Hour’s Ariel Helwani that he may have to move up to 155 pounds in the near future (MMA Fighting):
“If they change a few things around, I’m probably not going to be able to make 145. If it happens, it happens. If UFC keeps making new rules, I most definitely might have to step up. There ain’t no denying it.”
“Everybody is talking about being champs and this and that. I’m a champion in my mindset. I’ve told you before, I’ve nothing but time on my side. Man, you might see me with two of these gold belts. Who knows? I’m trying to be a legend.”
The new weight cutting rules essentially established that a fighter cannot cut more than 10 percent of their natural body weight, meaning many of the heavy weight-cutters will now have to reevaluate their diets.
Holloway would be one casualty of the new rules; the massive Hawaiian towers over everyone else in the division despite his lanky frame. He’s never missed weight but admitted many are surprised he can even make the division’s 145-pound limit:
“Every time I check my weight they’re in disbelief, but I’m like, ‘I’ve never missed weight in my life.’ I don’t know why they’re giving me a hard time, but medically if they’re the rules, then medically I probably won’t be able to make it because of their rules with the (weight) cuts.
“155 might come sooner rather than later, so we’ll see what happens.”
How would Holloway do at lightweight against the likes of Eddie Alvarez, Khabib Nurmagomedov, and Tony Ferguson?
Could the featherweight champ win gold at 155 pounds?

Michael Johnson is looking to end a slide in his MMA career, so he’s joined the ranks of fighters choosing to cut down a class in an effort to reinvent themselves.
Johnson will make his featherweight debut this Sunday in St. Louis against Darren Elkins in what will be the first-ever trip to 145 pounds in his UFC career.
”The Menace” went in depth to ESPN about how the weight cut is going and the drawbacks to having to lose so much weight:
”I have nightmares about it every night. You have no idea. My first fight at 155 [pounds], I got stuck trying to lose the last three pounds. I couldn’t get them off.
“That’s what I keep having flashbacks of when thinking about getting down to 145. What if I get stuck?”
Johnson is currently coming off of a two-fight losing streak at 155 pounds, having just lost to Justin Gaethje by TKO in 2017’s Fight of the Year” after getting thoroughly dominated by Khabib Nurmagomedov.
The move to featherweight is uncharted territory for Johnson, who was reportedly always a big lightweight, cutting from between 170 to 180 pounds to make 155 pounds.
But Johnson feels like he’s done at lightweight for now, as a new weight class presents new opportunities in terms of a title shot:
”I’ve spent my time, paid my dues in the lightweight division. I’m not looking to work my way up [slowly]. I want to come in here and beat [Elkins] who is on a nice win streak, make a statement, and then get in there on a No. 1 contender fight.”
Elkins himself is coming off of a decision win over Dennis Bermudez that was preceded by an improbable comeback upset victory over Mirsad Bektic, whom he viciously knocked out after taking a beating for two rounds.
Johnson and Elkins will throw down on Sunday during UFC Fight Night 124 in Saint Louis.
How do you expect Johnson to look and perform at featherweight? Will he have any issues making weight?
