Efter Cris Cyborgs vinst mot den tidigare bantamviktsmästarinnan Holly Holm, har det diskuterats om en potentiell supermatch mellan den nuvarande bantamviktsmästarinnan Amanda Nunes och fjäderviktsmästarinnan, Cris Cyborg.
Nunes huvudtränare, Conan Silveira, sade genom MMAJunkie att matchen är betydelsefull och kan lämna ett avstamp i historieböckerna.
People want to see it. I think they have the best opportunity to leave their marks on history. I believe for the weight division, Amanda is going to be extremely well-prepared. She’s not going to have to make the weight. She’s probably going to be strong in that division. I do believe the compensation (for) the strength that comes from Cyborg definitely will be the tools that Amanda has on her side.
I think it’s the perfect fight. It’s a perfect match. It’s a champions fight – it’s something we don’t see happen often
Silveira är övertygad till 1000 procent att matchen så småningom kommer att ta plats.
I think it’s not 100 percent, but 1,000 percent going to happen. I think it’s something everybody wants to see, even the ones that think they’re going to lose something. I just think it’s a champions fight. I think they need to have that fight. It’s a big push for MMA in general, females and males. People want to see it. I think they have the best opportunity to leave their marks on history.
I believe that when you fight and you get to be a contender, it’s really hard. When you win and you become a champion, it’s even harder than that. But when you have a chance to leave your name in history, I think you have to do it. It’s something that’s good for everybody. If Cyborg was an American Top Team fighter, yeah, it really doesn’t make any sense. But still, I think the chance of what’s going to come from the fight is something only a few people have to do in life.
Nunes gick sin senaste match under Valentina Shevchenko under UFC 215, en match hon vann genom delat domslut.
