UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris Cyborg has some harsh words for ‘creonte’ Amanda Nunes ahead of their superfight at UFC 232 in Las Vegas.

UFC women’s featherweight champion Cris “Cyborg” Justino is gearing up for what will arguably be the biggest fight in women’s MMA history when she takes on UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes in the first ever women’s super fight.

Though both women are from Brazil, Justino believes Nunes has disrespected the country she loves so much and has labeled her a traitor to the Brazilian people.

“‘Creonte’ is a Brazilian word that means traitor,” Justino told FanSided. “I think it’s embarrassing that the UFC made Amanda the first female Brazilian champion and instead of representing Brazil when she fights, she calls herself American Top Team. She disrespects Brazilian MMA fans every time she walks into the cage as a part of American Top Team.”

Cyborg’s beef isn’t just with Nunes’ gym affiliation, it’s also with who else trains there — UFC interim welterweight champion Colby Covington who has been vocal about his distaste for the country of Brazil and it’s people. During his post-fight interview at UFC Sao Paulo, he called Brazil a “dump” and the Brazilian people “filthy animals.”

“This is the same gym as Colby Covington,” Cyborg said. ” He disrespected Brazil so badly that the UFC was worried they didn’t have enough security to keep him safe and had to move his fight against [Rafael dos Anjos] to the USA instead of Brazil.

“Yet Nunes goes into the gym every day to train alongside Colby Covington and even shares the same coaches. Where I’m from in Brazil this would never happen. Imagine Chael Sonnen walking into Chute Boxe and training with Wanderlei Silva, Anderson Silva, or any of the coaches. Do you think they would have let him train after all the things he said about Brazil? No. They would have defended Brazil’s honor. Amanda doesn’t have that same respect for Brazil.”

This fight nearly happened once before, but neither Nunes or Justino could come to fight terms, and it seems Justino wasn’t interested in fighting Nunes right away either.

“When she called me out last year at first I didn’t want to fight her,” she said. “I wanted to see all the women divisions run by the Brazilians. Myself, Amanda, [Jessica] Andrade, we could have all been champions and I thought it would bring pride back to all of Brazil. But Nunes is from a Team of Creontes. At American Top Team it is normal for teammates to fight each other. She called me out last year but then wanted a year before we can fight. When I fight her Dec. 29 it will be for everyone in Brazil, and it will be to teach Nunes a lesson about respect.”

“I think it’s embarrassing that the UFC made Amanda the first female Brazilian champion and instead of representing Brazil when she fights, she calls herself American Top Team.”

Many fans, and even Nunes, believe a win over Justino would classify her as the greatest female fighter of all time — a claim Justino vehemently disagrees with.

“Nunes is telling everyone if she beats me she is the greatest of all time, but does she think Everyone forgot about her four losses? She quit on herself against [Cat] Zingano. Everyone knows Amanda doesn’t want to fight Cat again,” Justino said. “To be the greatest of all time you can’t be afraid of fighting someone you’ve already lost to. I’ve asked for a rematch against Erica Paes many times but she won’t give me one. I still want another Muay Thai fight against Jorina Baars, but the moment you say Cat’s name to Nunes she gets quiet as a mouse.”

Justino has gone undefeated in MMA for more than 13 years, her only professional MMA loss came at the hands of Paes in her pro debut in May 2005. She’s also successfully defended her UFC title twice. Justino also recently became a United States citizen and adopted a child — her teenage niece.

“Adopting my niece and moving her from to the U.S. from Brazil to legally make her my daughter in America was a big step,” said Justino. “It gives me motivation every day to get up and train because I want to set a good example to her about what hard work can achieve. She has just started school and it’s different than in Brazil, I want her to be able to look at me and see that even though things aren’t easy you have to keep your focus and never give up. I am excited to have her attend the fight and will give all the glory to God that night.”

Justino will defend her title against Nunes at UFC 232 in Las Vegas, NV on Dec. 29, 2018 for the UFC’s year-end extravaganza.
