Preview: UFC 213 ‘Nunes vs. Shevchenko 2’

It was supposed to give us Cody Garbrandt-T.J. Dillashaw for the Ultimate Fighting Championship bantamweight belt, and until recently, fan-favorite finishers Robbie Lawler and Donald Cerrone were supposed to meet. Both fights have been scrapped. Yet somehow, despite these dearly felt losses, UFC 213 remains a solid card. A rematch between women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko has a lot to do with that. The two fought to a competitive decision in 2016, and now that Nunes holds the belt, Shevchenko may be the only one who can take it from her.
