A women’s bantamweight title fight is in the works for UFC 213 in July, and it will be a rematch. Reigning champion Amanda Nunes will look to put up a second win over challenger Valentina Shevchenko in what will likely be one of at least two title fights on the Vegas card.
Nunes (14-4, 7-1 UFC) defeated Miesha Tate for the title at UFC 200, and successfully defended it by stopping Ronda Rousey in just 48 seconds in December. She earned her original title shot by defeating Shevchenko at UFC 196.
