After last night’s impressive triumph of Cris Cyborg next stop is Amanda Nunes. The current bantamweight champion has issued a call out to Cyborg.
Not that Kunitskaya didn’t have an interesting game:

“Could be (in Rio),” White said in post fight conference on Nunes and Cyborg. “I mean, she just fought, so once the adrenaline goes down, she’s got to get checked out and make sure she’s 100 percent. And I just think her and Nunes is the fight that needs to happen.”
“She wanted to (return) fast, and I wanted some time,” Nunes said. “At least put on more muscle and be 100 percent ready for 145 (pounds). And she decided to fight somebody else.”
“I would love to fight her, and after this fight we can see,” Nunes said.
Cris Cyborg, post-fight: “I am waiting for Amanda [Nunes] now. She called me out and I want to fight her. I just want to remind everyone that she called me out and, when you call out Cyborg, Cyborg will answer.”
