MMA Fighting<\/a>, Cyborg looked back on her devastating loss to Nunes. While she is reluctant to make excuses, she said the chaos surrounding her preparation for the fight caused her to act emotionally in the cage.<\/p>\n\u201cI think that\u2019s something wrong when there are no problems in my camp because I always have a problem in my camp and that motivates me,\u201d Cyborg said. \u201cI trained nine months for that fight and had so much stress around me. It\u2019s not an excuse, but I acted emotionally in the fight. It\u2019s not what I trained, I acted emotionally. \u2026 We never think we\u2019re going to lose in the first round. You say \u2018I\u2019ll give my all, I\u2019ll go until the end, and if they defeat me, I\u2019m going until the end.\u2019 That\u2019s what we think.\u201d<\/p>\n
Cyborg then looked back on the hours and days that followed that loss to Nunes. Interestingly, she said one of the toughest moments occurred when she was showering post-fight, when she was without distractions and alone with her thoughts.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe worst thing there is after you lose a fight is to take a shower,\u201d Cyborg said. \u201cYou take a shower by yourself and that flash comes in your head all the time, and then you start to question (yourself). One side says something, the other side says something else. There\u2019s a fight inside your head every time you take a shower. The week after that fight was a difficult moment.\u201d<\/p>\n
Today, Cris Cyborg is the Bellator women’s featherweight champ, while Amanda Nunes still holds that title in the UFC. The former is hoping they’ll have the opportunity to rematch in the future, perhaps as the result of co-promotion between the UFC and Bellator.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt\u2019s not a dream, it\u2019s a goal in MMA, to do something different,\u201d Cyborg said. \u201cA super fight between the Bellator champion and the UFC champion, Amanda Nunes and I. I think it would help MMA a lot.\u201d<\/p>\n
