Saturday’s UFC 213 came and went without the scheduled headliner.
In an odd turn, Nunes who seemed fine through fight week and weigh-ins, insisted she was too ill to fight.
She broke the news to the UFC just hours before her scheduled main event, and there was nothing anybody could do.
Despite doctors clearing her, stating there was nothing wrong with the champ, Nunes cited a sinus infection as cause for her to cancel the bout.
In the aftermath, UFC president Dana White banned the champion from ever headlining a fight card for them again.
Now Nunes reacts:
It doesn't matter Main Event or Co-Main. I just want the same fight.
