Dana White reveals Amanda Nunes vs. Felicia Spencer at UFC 250 in Brazil

Two-division champion Amanda Nunes will put her featherweight title on the line against Felicia Spencer at UFC 250 on May 9 in Sao Paulo, Brazil. UFC president Dana White revealed the title bout on Thursday to ESPN’s Brett Okamoto.

Nunes (19-4) captured the women’s 145-pound title by knocking out Cris Cyborg at UFC 232 in December 2018. It will be her first featherweight title defense.

The 31-year-old Brazilian is on a 10-fight winning streak and hasn’t tasted defeat since 2014. Since defeating Cyborg, Nunes has defended her bantamweight belt twice.

UFC 250 takes place at Ginásio do Ibirapuera in Sao Paulo. The last time Nunes fought in her home country was in May 2018, stopping Raquel Pennington at UFC 224,
