LOS ANGELES – Like they did in the conference call that preceded UFC 232’s fight week, Amanda Nunes and Cris Cyborg said in Thursday’s press conference that their champ vs. champ clash isn’t personal . Like in the previous news conference, though, there was some light friction between the two Brazilians – with an intense face-off to boot. Cyborg (20-1 MMA, 5-0 UFC) and Nunes (17-4 MMA, 9-1 UFC) had been somewhat quiet presences throughout the pre-fight news conference in Los Angeles, which was largely dominated by the conversation around former champion Jon Jones and the abnormal drug tests that led Saturday’s entire card to be moved from Las Vegas to Southern California.
