Amanda Nunes targets UFC 250 for first featherweight title defense

Henry Cejudo vs. Jose Aldo might not be the only title fight scheduled for UFC 250 in Sao Paulo, Brazil, on May 9, as two-division champion Amanda Nunes also aims to be part of the pay-per-view card.

Nunes, who holds the UFC bantamweight and featherweight titles, wants to defend the 145-pound crown in her native country next, multiple sources confirmed to MMA Fighting following a report from Combate.

The contender could emerge from Saturday’s UFC Norfolk, since there are two featherweight contests scheduled for the main card of the Fight Night show in Virginia.
