There's been mixed reactions to Amanda Nunes' sudden withdrawal from UFC 213 on fight night.

Nunes, the current UFC women's bantamweight champion, pulled out of her main event title defense against Amanda Valentina Shevchenko due to a sudden flare-up of chronic sinusitis.

'The Lioness' has been criticized by some but defended by others. Nunes, who is the only UFC champ to pull out of a headlining bout on the day of a pay-per-view, has attracted criticism for refusing to fight despite being medically cleared by doctors.

One of those critics is UFC president Dana White, who told reporters that Nunes would never headline another PPV.
