Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) fans were in for a bit of a surprise last night. UFC 213 went down on July 8 inside the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, Nevada. However, the night featured a last minute change in the main event.
UFC bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes was initially set to face off against former opponent and rising challenger Valentina Shevchenko for a main event title fight rematch. However, Amanda Nunes pulled out of the event hours before the fight.
Now, Amanda Nunes has come forward with a statement on the UFC 213 main event cancellation. In the statement, Nunes reveals that she suffers from chronic sinusitis, leading to her removal from the night’s event.
