Dana White needs Amanda Nunes versus Cyborg rematch yet is protect it will occur

The rundown of reasonable rivals for UFC featherweight and bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes is getting shorter and shorter.

At UFC 239, which went down in Las Vegas, Nevada, Nunes protected her bantamweight tie with a first-round TKO triumph over previous victor Holly Holm — one of only a handful few built up bantamweight contenders remaining that she had not yet battled.

With this Nunes versus Holm session in the back view reflect, the UFC will presently need to find another rival for the savage two-division champion.

From its hints, UFC President Dana White as of now has an objective to that end.Speaking to ESPN's Brett Okamoto after UFC 239, the UFC manager repeated his intrigued by a rematch between Amanda Nunes and the lady she thumped out to win the featherweight title in December, Cris Cyborg.

"Nunes needs the rematch with Cyborg next," White told ESPN's Brett Okamoto (transcript through MMA Mania). "We'll check whether Cyborg is up for that, and on the off chance that she needs to do that. Furthermore, if not, there will be another person, there's dependably another person."

White's remarks give the feeling that Cris Cyborg isn't sold on a rematch with Amanda Nunes. However the previous hero has more than once expressed the inverse is valid — that she needs the battle, and the UFC is the gathering shielding it from occurring.

White offers an alternate take.

"What do you think? Do you believe I'm truly making an effort not to make the rematch?" White answered to Okamoto when squeezed about this distinction of assessment. "I've been putting on battles for a long time. So do you truly believe I'm doing whatever it takes not to make the rematch? So what does that let you know. There's not different sides of the story, there are three sides to the story. You got Amanda who says she needs it. You made me state I'll make it. Also, you have the other one saying she was never offered it. You crunch the numbers on that one."

Cris Cyborg, obviously, is as of now reserved for a UFC 240 battle with Felicia Spencer, which could possibly mess up any designs for a rematch with Amanda Nunes.
