The confrontation between Chris Cyborg e Amanda nunes will only take place on December 29th, at UFC 232, in Las Vegas (USA). However, the provocations between Curitiba and their rivals are increasing every day. The featherweight champion labeled her compatriot as 'Creon' and the 'Lioness' fiancée in response accused her of being stupid. Even so, the native of Curitiba went further and produced a special t-shirt for the confrontation with the phrase: “Keep Brasil Creonte Free” printed on it.

After releasing the blouse on his social networks, Cyborg showed the shirt he will wear during the week of UFC 232 in Las Vegas. The presentation took place during the event, called Nação Cyborg in Curitiba.
“Actually, everyone knows what Creon is. We should grow the sport in Brazil. She's part of Colby's (Covington) team, who came out saying a bunch of things about Brazil, that the country is trash. Amanda, as a Brazilian, never took a stand. No one on my team will say anything bad about Brazil, if they do, they won't be part of it. That's one of the things I didn't like. Then I saw her cheering, almost as a corner, against Jéssica (Bate-Estaca). It's okay to be her friend (Tecia torres), but out of respect for Brazil, for Jéssica's story, Amanda couldn't have done it that way, with Brazilians around her. That's why I think she's a creon and that was a creon. This will be the Cyborg nation's shirt for the UFC”, said Cris in an interview with the Combate channel website.
The slang 'creon' was created by master Carlson Gracie to nickname athletes who changed teams. Even though this is common today, it was an unusual fact during the 80s and 90s.
