Amanda Nunes is scheduled to face Raquel Pennington on May 12 at UFC 224 at the Jeunesse Arena in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil, but the bout many people want to see is the current UFC Women's Bantamweight Champion vs the current UFC Women's Featherweight Champion Cris Cyborg.

The fight has been discussed numerous times over the past year and it was targetted once to happen at UFC 224 later this month, but Cyborg was instead scheduled for a title defense at UFC 222 in March and the plans were scrapped.

Nunes has now be booked to defend her UFC Women's Bantamweight Championship against Pennington, but this doesn't mean she has cast aside a fight with the UFC Women's Featherweight Champion.

Nunes said on the “UFC Unfiltered” podcast this week, according to MMA Weekly: “After my fight against Rocky, we will talk again and we will see.”

Nunes’ girlfriend and fellow UFC fighter Nina Ansaroff has said one condition must be met in order for the fight with Cyborg to happen.

Ansaroff has said Nunes would have to be given enough time to put on the extra weight to compete at 145 pounds and there’s no way that would happen with only two months to prepare for a potential fight against Cyborg at UFC 227.

She said: “The talk in December was maybe Cyborg in July. That would give her time to be 145 [pounds]. She’s not doing a catchweight. She wants to go to 145 but then to be like fight 135 and then her want to do it in July, she’s coming from her smallest to meet you at your weight. She needs a little more time than that.”

Cyborg last fought inside the Octagon at UFC 222 when she successfully defended her UFC Women's Featherweight Championship against Yana Kunitskaya, defeating her via TKO in the first round, so she's had plenty of time to get ready for this superfight.

While the superfight is still interesting, both Nunes and Cyborg have contenders in their respective divisions that will be wanting a title fight, and UFC will not be wanting to hold up the divisions in order to make the time for the fight to happen.
