Cris Cyborg "disappointed" at lack of rematch against Amanda Nunes
It's hard to get over defeats when you're one of the best fighters on the planet, and it looks like such is the case with Cris Cyborg's loss to Amanda Nunes. When Cyborg lost to 'The Lioness' at UFC 232, she was on 10-fight win streak.
In a recent interview with James Lynch, the 38-year-old expressed her thoughts about Nunes' retirement from the sport. Although the Bellator champ is not surprised by her former foe's decision, she is a bit disappointed in not getting a rematch:
"I'm not surprised, you know. She's been fighting for a long time, and she has a wife, and she has kids... she's having a new chapter in her life coming... I'm not surprised... I don't want to say [I was] upset [that the rematch never happened]. I think the right word is disappointed. I had a goal in my heart to make a rematch before I retire or she retires. I think a lot of fans [were] asking for this too."
