Sijara Eubanks just lost the chance to compete for a world title in a headliner at Madison Square Garden, and to say she’s not pleased about that would be an understatement.
On Tuesday, it was reported that heavyweight champion Daniel Cormier would be defending his title against Derrick Lewis in the main event of UFC 230, which takes place on Nov. 3 in New York City. That seemed to indicate that a previously reported women’s flyweight title fight between Valentina Shevchenko and Eubanks would no longer be headlining, and in fact news later broke that Shevchenko would instead be moved back to a previously announced fight between herself and former strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk for UFC 231 in Toronto on Dec.
