Amanda nunes is ready to make history in the octagon. The Bahian, UFC champion in the bantamweight division, once again challenged her compatriot Chris Cyborg, holder of the title in the featherweight category, to become the only female champion in two categories.

“First of all, I have nothing against Chris Cyborg. I believe that this is the fight that everyone wants to see and it is a fight in which we can both leave our marks on the sport” – Amanda wrote on the microblog in a post in English, marking her rival's profile.
