UFC President <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/amanda-nunes\/video-dana-white-says-hes-making-amanda-nunes-versus-cyborg-happen\/\">Dana White also seems to be on board with this plan<\/a>. And while there are still some major hurdles to clear before this fight is made, Nunes&#8217; head coach at American Top Team, Conan Silveira, is very confident it&#8217;ll happen.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPeople want to see it,\u201d Silveira told <a href=\"http:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2018\/01\/amanda-nunes-cris-cyborg-1000-percent-going-to-happen-att-head-coach\">MMAjunkie<\/a>. \u201cI think they have the best opportunity to leave their marks on history.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe for the [featherweight] division, Amanda is going to be extremely well-prepared,\u201d he continued. \u201cShe\u2019s not going to have to make the weight. She\u2019s probably going to be strong in that division. I do believe the compensation (for) the strength that comes from Cyborg definitely will be the tools that Amanda has on her side.\u00a0I think it\u2019s the perfect fight. It\u2019s a perfect match. It\u2019s a champions fight \u2013 it\u2019s something we don\u2019t see happen often.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI think it\u2019s not 100 percent, but 1,000 percent going to happen&#8230; I think it\u2019s something everybody wants to see, even the ones that think they\u2019re going to lose something. I just think it\u2019s a champions fight. I think they need to have that fight. It\u2019s a big push for MMA in general, females and males. People want to see it. I think they have the best opportunity to leave their marks on history.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe that when you fight and you get to be a contender, it\u2019s really hard. When you win and you become a champion, it\u2019s even harder than that. But when you have a chance to leave your name in history, I think you have to do it. It\u2019s something that\u2019s good for everybody. If Cyborg was an American Top Team fighter, yeah, it really doesn\u2019t make any sense. But still, I think the chance of what\u2019s going to come from the fight is something only a few people have to do in life.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Do you share Conan Silveira&#8217;s optimism that Amanda Nunes and Cris Cyborg will fight?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 1\/10\/2018. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ever since UFC women&#8217;s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg thwarted challenger Holly Holm at UFC 219, UFC women&#8217;s bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes has been eager to fight her.
