Amanda Nunes will defend her bantamweight crown in a rematch against Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 213 on July 8.
Multiple outlets have confirmed that Nunes and Shevchenko have agreed to terms following an initial report by Talk MMA on Twitter. The UFC has not officially announced the bout. UFC 213 takes place at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas and also includes another 135-pound championship clash, as Cody Garbrandt defends his strap against T.J. Dillashaw.
Nunes and Shevchenko first fought a UFC 196, with Nunes capturing a unanimous decision triumph.
