Cris Cyborg UFC 232 blog: Clarissa Shields to ex-champ: ‘You shouldn’t have been out there just trying to brawl’

Amanda Nunes and Dana White don’t seem that into the idea of booking an immediate rematch between “The Lioness” and Cris Cyborg after the 51-second knockout win for Nunes at UFC 232 on Dec. 29, but the former UFC featherweight queen won’t give up that easily.

Cyborg, who also held the 145-pound belts in Strikeforce and Invicta FC before joining the UFC, released a video on her Youtube channel with backstage footage before and after her UFC 232 defeat in Inglewood.

In the video, Academy Award winner Halle Berry hangs out with Cyborg after the fight, saying the Brazilian “is a true champion and she’ll be back”.
