UFC 213: Nunes vs. Shevchenko 2 Odds, Tickets, Predictions and Pre-Weigh-in Hype

Saturday just can't come soon enough for many UFC fans as UFC 213's fight card is full of exciting fights, particularly the co-main event between Yoel Romero vs. Robert Whittaker and the main event featuring bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko.

It's been a long and tumultuous road for Romero, the UFC's No. 1 contender in the middleweight division, as he has been brushed aside for a title shot by champion Michael Bisping, who is currently recovering from a knee injury after a failed attempt to fight the returning Georges St-Pierre.

With the interim 185-pound title on the line Saturday night in Las Vegas, the "Soldier of God" will be looking to take out the fast-rising Kiwi, Whittaker, to set up a date with Bisping for the undisputed title.
