On Wednesday afternoon, UFC female featherweight champion Cris Cyborg announced that she had agreed to face UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 228, on September 8.
Cyborg took to twitter to announce the news:
I agreed for second time , fight Amanda Nunes September 8 #UFCdallas #UFC228 my last fight was 4 months ago. I’m ready to fight.

Now, in response to Cris, Nunes girlfriend Nina Ansaroff revealed a photo last night showing Amanda signing the contract to fight Cyborg.

The only hang up here is of course, Nunes signed a contract to face Cyborg in December, three months after Cyborg wants to fight.
Stay tuned…
