Next week, Amanda's fans will be able to see how the Bahian will do in her first title defense in the featherweight division since the athlete shocked the world by beating Chris Cyborg, in December 2018. For the confrontation, the 'Leoa' will have the great challenge of defeating the former champion of Invicta FC, Felicia spencer, who is coming off a big win over Zarah Fairn dos Santos.

With each performance, Nunes has silenced the critics and proved that she can now be considered the best fighter of all time. The Pojucana hasn't known what it's like to lose since September 2014 and, since then, she has accumulated 10 victories in a row, as well as two belts in different divisions in Ultimate.

More Brazil

In addition to the 'Leoa' fans, Brazilian fans will also have two other representatives on the card. In the second fight of the night, Jussier formiga will return to the octagon to try to overcome his last two performances, when he was beaten by Joseph Benavidez e Brandon Moreno.

The athlete will exchange forces against the dangerous Alex Perez, who is coming off two consecutive victories and, like the native of Rio Grande do Norte, is looking to reach the top of the division to compete for the flyweight belt (up to 52,1 kg.), which has remained vacant since Henry Cejudo abandoned his position as champion in December last year.

Coming off two consecutive defeats, Raphael Assunção will have a tough commitment in the co-main fight of UFC 250. Current number five in the bantamweight rankings (up to 61,2kg), the Pernambuco native will have the role of defeating the former division champion, cody garbrandt, and amplify the crisis in his rival's career, who hasn't won in three fights. The American's last positive result came in December 2016, when he won the division title over Dominick Cruz.
