Filed under: News , UFC Amanda Nunes has already accomplished what her two immediate predecessors, Holly Holm and Miesha Tate, could not: defend the UFC women’s bantamweight title. At UFC 213 Nunes looks to put any questions about her place as the top fighter in the division behind her when she meets Valentina Shevchenko in a rematch of their March 2016 bout. The first meeting was a three-round contest, and while Nunes took the first two rounds, Shevchenko turned the tables in the third stanza, leaving many to wonder just how the fight would have ended had it been a five-round bout. That question will be answered when the two meet in the main event of Saturday’s card. In the co-main event, highly ranked middleweights Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker meet in a highly anticipated interim title fight.
