JAKARTA - Two-time UFC world champion Amanda Nunes sensationally challenged television personality Kim Kardashian to an MMA fight at the UFC Octagon.
Nunes, who recently beat Megan Anderson at UFC 259 to defend the women's featherweight championship belt, challenged Kardashian via Twitter.
"Hi Kim Kardashian. Let's fight? Lol," accompanied by a photo of the two side by side.

Interestingly, Kardashian does have previous combat sports experience. He fought in the boxing event 'The Kardashian Charity Knockout' in 2009.
The KKW Beauty founder lost to actress Tamara Frapasella and hasn't boxed since.
The fight between Nunes and Kardashian, which seems unlikely, will only continue the rise of the lioness from Brazil.
Widely considered the greatest female MMA fighter of all time, Nunes has beaten the likes of Ronda Rousey, Valentina Shevchenko, Cris Cyborg and Holly Holm and is currently on a 12-game winning streak, the last loss in 2014.
Nunes' call comes just days after UFC President Dana White criticized the exhibition boxing match between Floyd Mayweather and social media star Logan Paul. He also claims that the UFC is not involved in the celebrity combat sports business.
"It wasn't a boxing match. As I said earlier, there will always be a market for such merchandise. There will always be people willing to pay $50 to watch that kind of stuff. That's very far (from what the UFC is doing)," said Dana White.
“Think about it – imagine if Kim Kardashian wanted to fight Amanda Nunes. How big do you think the fight is? That would be huge. It will be the biggest (event) but come on," he concluded.
