The champion vs. champion superfight between Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes at UFC 232 at the end of the year is a high-stakes affair. Cyborg is putting her featherweight title on the line and, according to many, this fight will determine who should carry the honor of Greatest Female Fighter of All Time. But for Cyborg, this fight is more than that, it’s a fight for the honor of her home country.
In the recent past, Nunes’ American Top Team teammate Colby Covington has repeatedly insulted the nation of Brazil, including calling Brazilian fans “filthy animals” last year at UFC Sao Paulo.
