The two best female MMA fighters on the planet will fight in Las Vegas.

UFC president Dana White has revealed to ESPN that Cris “Cyborg” Justino will take on fellow Brazilian fighter Amanda Nunes at UFC 232 at the T-Mobile Arena on 29 December.

Nunes (16-4) will be bidding to become the third fighter in UFC history — after Conor McGregor and Daniel Cormier — to hold two titles simultaneously.

Cyborg (20-1), who hasn’t lost a fight since her professional debut in 2005, clinched the vacant featherweight title at the expense of Tonya Evinger in July 2017.
