In her next most recent fight, she knocked out the seemingly unbeatable Cris Cyborg to capture the featherweight belt and become a two-division champ.<\/p>\n<p>At present, it&#8217;s not clear who she&#8217;ll fight next, although both she and UFC President Dana White are keen on a rematch with Cyborg.<\/p>\n<p id=\"Hye9DH\">\u201cNunes wants the rematch with Cyborg next,\u201d White told ESPN\u2019s Brett Okamoto after Amanda Nunes defeated Holm. \u201cWe\u2019ll see if Cyborg is up for that, and if she wants to do that. And if not, there will be somebody else, there\u2019s always somebody else.<\/p>\n<p id=\"HATzAX\">\u201dWhat do you think? Do you think I\u2019m really not trying to make the rematch?\u201d he added. \u201cI\u2019ve been putting on fights for 20 years. So do you really think I\u2019m not trying to make the rematch? So what does that tell you. There\u2019s not two sides of the story, there are three sides to the story. You got Amanda who says she wants it. You got me saying I\u2019ll make it.
