Oplano do Ultimate é claro, mas ainda não está concretizado. A organização pretende realizar sua nona edição no Rio de Janeiro no dia 26 de maio, o UFC 224, e, para liderar o card, a intenção é ter o esperado duelo entre Cris Cyborg e Amanda Nunes, válido pelo cinturão dos penas (até 66kg), conforme apurou o
Combate.com
com fontes ligadas à companhia.
Sobre o local, a companhia ainda não definiu em que ginásio realizará o evento e vai estudar os orçamentos antes de escolher a arena. As oito edições feitas no Rio de Janeiro aconteceram na Arena da Barra e no Maracanãzinho, mas a Arena Carioca 1 também surge como alternativa para o Ultimate. O martelo deve ser batido nos próximos 15 dias.
Com relação a luta principal, a organização conta com poucas opções para liderar um card numerado no Brasil, por isso existe a necessidade de fechar o confronto entre Cyborg e Amanda para esta data. A Leoa, campeã do peso-galo (até 61kg) e que quer subir de divisão para enfrentar a compatriota, já aceitou. Já a detentora do cinturão da divisão até 66kg ainda reluta, pois faz campanha para que o UFC invista em contratações de atletas do peso-pena ou que a coloque em um card com potencial maior de venda de pay per view nos Estados Unidos. Entretanto, dirigentes da companhia estão otimistas de que o combate será casado para a ocasião.
Recentemente, Dana White, presidente do UFC, declarou que Cyborg x Amanda
"é a luta a se fazer"
e deixou claro que
está trabalhando para que ocorra
.
Na última vez que o Ultimate desembarcou no Rio de Janeiro, em junho do ano passado, Max Holloway sagrou-se campeão do peso-pena masculino ao bater José Aldo na luta principal.

I might be the only one that hates this fight. The UFC needs to get the divisions sorted out and get new talent in there for Bantamweight and Featherweight. The Bantamweight Division is a ghost town and I hate the fact that they just keep feeding fighters to Cyborg for no particular reason.

Which is why I picked those Brazilians, guys who have a history of willingness to face Brazilians. Guys that fought on the last Super Card they had in Brazil. Guys that would have a huge jump up with wins.
Brazilians might not like to face other Brazilians which is why you make sure the fights are special.

Nunes/Cyborg will happen at some point, so it's 2 for 7. Also we'll see how many Brazilian vs Brazilian fights end up on the card but I doubt Machida/Belfort will be the only one.
Also you are wrong because you said it wasn't going to happen...it happened.

i said your card full of brazilian vs brazilians wouldnt happen, which it wont. its an absurd idea and extremly unlikely.
you are 1/7 so far on your predicitons, so that makes you %14 correct, good for you John...much better than your normal 0% average.
