Cris Cyborg reacts to Dana White claiming she’s ‘afraid to lose’ to Amanda Nunes

Former UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg has fired back at Dana White’s claims that she is ‘afraid to lose’ against Amanda Nunes again.

Cyborg (20-2, 1NC) lost her first fight since 2005 when she was knocked out by Nunes in just 51-seconds at UFC 232 in December of last year. The Brazilian returns to the cage this weekend to fight the undefeated Felicia Spencer at UFC 240. Talking to TMZ earlier this week about White’s comments, Cyborg said she wasn’t surprised.

“You think I’m surprised when Dana says things like this? I’m not,” Cyborg said.
