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.
