UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes and women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg have been negotiating a possible super fight for some time now. However, the two champions have now entered a war of words of social media.
Nunes and Cyborg first attempted to lock down a fight for UFC 224, but the match never made it to the octagon. Nunes has since voiced an interest in fighting in Dec., while Cyborg is determined to fight in Sept.
Taking to Twitter, the negotiations have since spilled out over social media. Check it out below:

“Kkkk @Amanda_Leoa you haven’t fought me at 145 before because you couldn’t keep winning at that weight. I could fight my shadow in a parking lot and sell more than 85k PPV. You can’t be a lion when you’re afraid to fight cats. @catzingano”
