The two-time Olympic gold medalist had high praise for the Brazilian and felt that she could be a beast if she solely focuses on a boxing career. Cyborg herself has done it all - Jui Jitsu, Muay Thai, MMA, but has not been a pure boxing practitioner, something that she finds extremely alluring.

However, we would love to see Shields make the transition to MMA and go up against the most dominant female fighters in MMA history. The 23-year-old Shields has said that she has no desire to pursue MMA and we get that, she is only eight matches into her professional career. If not now, we could possibly see the middleweight boxing champion inside the UFC Octagon in sometime in the future. Cyborg or Nunes, who should Shields face?
