UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion Cristiane “Cyborg” Justino is apparently opening up to the idea of a super fight with UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes.
After showing some reluctance in the past, a now willing Cyborg wants to fight Nunes this July during UFC International Fight Week.
Cyborg made those feelings known through Twitter:
I have agreed with my management to fight @Amanda_Leoa #ufc226 July 7th in Las Vegas during international fight week. I will let her finalize her side of the bout now. pic.twitter.com/w5YIYYRGV5

Nina Ansaroff is both a UFC fighter and the girlfriend of Nunes, who says that the fight between the two champions is nowhere near complete. Which would lead to Cyborg having a back and forth with her through Twitter:
We still good with Vegas @Amanda_Leoa and Coach @ConanSilveira pic.twitter.com/R6eevjo0bS

Amanda said she will fight me in Vegas. I have agreed. Nothing fake about this.

I think I would know if she said that. ----

That was just an interview saying she would fight u anywhere, doesn’t matter. Nothing was offered on when and where.

Not trying to start anything here. When everyone comes to an agreement it will be a great fight!

Cool. I’ll let everyone know --

The UFC Women’s Featherweight Champion also focused on Invicta FC Featherweight Champion Megan Anderson. Cyborg would take to Twitter to accuse Anderson of unscrupulous acts, such as marrying somebody for convenience to stay in the United States.
1 year... Get your facts straight please people and I'll be fighting soon.
— Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) January 23, 2018
Megan I was told by the @ufc you would not be fighting anytime soon. Is that a lie?
— #CYBORGVsNUNES #UFC226 (@criscyborg) January 23, 2018
When will @MeganA_mma be ready to fight? @Mickmaynard2 @ufc? She deserves the next chance at the belt. https://t.co/WdxSrV7LJy

Well since you're apparently fighting Nunes, when I return in a few months, I want a fight.
— Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) January 23, 2018
You will be ready to fight before July? @Mickmaynard2 @ufc? I was told you were not going to be active by then. https://t.co/PR6EWn7rux
— #CYBORGVsNUNES #UFC226 (@criscyborg) January 23, 2018
Interesting ---- Don't know where that came from...
— Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) January 23, 2018
Looks like @MeganA_mma is going to be ready to fight sooner than expected @Mickmaynard2 @ufc https://t.co/PR6EWn7rux
— #CYBORGVsNUNES #UFC226 (@criscyborg) January 23, 2018
If I don’t fight @Amanda_Leoa in July, are you ready to go by then @MeganA_mma? @Mickmaynard2 https://t.co/ZKOazN2e6e

Ray Elbe... This is Twitter. The UFC has a HQ. I suggest you do business there and talk to them like my management are... https://t.co/sb3ehmHnKQ
— Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) January 23, 2018
---- I don’t think asking when you will be able to fight is unprofessional. My management has been told you’re not back by July. Is that false? Are you ready to fight by then?
— #CYBORGVsNUNES #UFC226 (@criscyborg) January 23, 2018
Don't know where you're getting that information from.
— Megan Anderson (@MeganA_mma) January 23, 2018
You want to talk business @MeganA_mma? I didn’t come to USA on a tourist visa to work illegally then have personal issues so I could marry and stay in America!! @uscis https://t.co/J72mbsCAqS

For people that don’t know I immigrated to the USA in 2008 without speaking English. In 2010 I got my green card and in 2016 I became a citizen. I followed all the rules even though I had to learn English and the legal steps on immigration. pic.twitter.com/aUQIcqHZys

Anderson and Cyborg were originally set to fight at UFC 214 last year, but Anderson pulled out of the fight and was replaced by Invicta FC Bantamweight Champion Tonya Evinger.
There has been no word at this time if the UFC will officially book Cyborg and Nunes at this point, which was the fight UFC President Dana White has been pushing for awhile now.
