Cris Cyborg has called for a rematch with former foe Amanda Nunes in the wake of her win at Bellator 249 last night.<\/p>\n

Cyborg once again proved why she’s still one of the most dangerous women on the planet as she submitted Arlene Blencowe in the second round to retain her Bellator Featherweight Championship.<\/p>\n

It was her third straight win after she lost to the aforementioned Nunes back at UFC 232 in December 2018, and now, she’s out for revenge.<\/p>\n

👀 @danawhite<\/a> you looking to make the biggest fights? The fights the most fans want to watch? @ufc<\/a> V @BellatorMMA<\/a> https:\/\/t.co\/wx7Cbtk5nP<\/a><\/p>\n

\u2014 @CrisCyborg on Youtube (@criscyborg) October 16, 2020<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

While Cyborg may be viewed as someone who is in the latter stages of her career, she’s still one of the most consistently exciting performers in the sport. Before she even squared off against Blencowe last night, she made it pretty clear<\/a> what she wants next.<\/p>\n

\u201cShe\u2019s going to fight her next one against Megan Anderson, probably she gonna be training. I know everybody wants to see this fight. Let\u2019s make this fight happen. I don\u2019t have the opportunity for the rematch before. But in the future it\u2019s something I\u2019d like to do,\u201d Cyborg said.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe best promoter is the best fights the fans would like to watch. Let\u2019s wait and see what\u2019s going to happen. We\u2019re open for that. Scott Coker said we\u2019re wide open for that. It\u2019s just the other side that has to agree.\u201d<\/p>\n

She also revealed<\/a> what the worst part of that loss to Nunes really was in the aftermath of the defeat.<\/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

With only two losses on her professional record you can tell how hard it is for Cyborg to stomach the Nunes defeat even two years later, and she wants nothing more than to avenge it.<\/p>\n
