How can you deny it? You can\u2019t deny that she\u2019s the best ever. That\u2019s what this fight was for,\u201d White said at the\u00a0UFC 232 post-fight press conference (transcript via <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2018\/12\/30\/18161145\/dana-white-amanda-nunes-is-best-ever-after-defeating-cris-cyborg\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMA Fighting<\/a>). \u201cThis fight was to find out. But if you look at her resume and who she beat, she\u2019s the best ever. Nobody can dispute that. You can try, you can say some stupid shit, but she\u2019s the best ever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Like the rest of the world, Dana White was thrilled by the fight itself, which saw Cris Cyborg and Amanda Nunes swap nukes from the opening bell.<\/p>\n<p id=\"PwSWbV\">\u201cThe roof came off that place when that fight ended,\u201d White said. \u201cIt was as exciting a fight as you\u2019ll ever see and what makes it even bigger are the stakes. You have two of the baddest women fighting to see who the baddest is.<\/p>\n<p id=\"liaJKK\">\u201cBoth world champions in two different weight classes and they come out and start bombing like that. There\u2019s nothing more fun.
