UFC Fans Spam Amanda Nunes’ Name After Cris Cyborg Calls Herself Her Toughest Opponent

From Stephan Bonnar vs. Forrest Griffin to Khabib Nurmagomedov vs. Conor McGregor, there are numerous iconic UFC fights that fans frequently revisit. In keeping with that, one example of a women's fight is Amanda Nunes vs. Cris Cyborg. In 2018, both fighters were at the top of the table and performing at their best. However, Nunes came out on top that evening, taking Cyborg out in a mere minute.

Notably, it was the former UFC champion's second defeat in her career. She went to Bellator shortly after one fight. Since then, fans have never failed to mention her in the comments section and remind Cyborg of her defeat and the difficulty of her fight.

UFC Fans Remind Cris Cyborg Of Amanda Nunes

Meanwhile, Cyborg was questioned about the hardest fight of her career and the person who hit her the hardest prior to her bout with Ketlen Vieira at PFL Tampa. To which she responded by saying that she herself is the hardest opponent. Subsequently, the Brazilian legend's name appeared in the comments section for apparent reasons.

“Amanda Nuñes is the correct answer,” one fan said.

“Just say Amanda and stop playing," one fan said.

“She forgot how hard Nunes hit her,” another fan said.

“Can't give Nunes credit, bitter,” a fan said.

“Obvious answer to both of those questions was the goat, Nunes,” one fan added.

“Amanda Vietnam flashbacks,” one fan wrote.

On the other hand, a fan said, “I would have loved to see her and Nunes run it back. Both legends.”

Because she has lost to Nunes and hasn't proven herself, fans see her as less dangerous than the Lioness. However, since both are still competing, it's still one of the biggest what-if fights of this generation.
