The fate of the Ultimate Fighting Championship women’s bantamweight title will hang in the balance when Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko square off for a second time.
Nunes tipped the scales at 135 pounds, as she prepares to defend her title against Shevchenko (133.5) in the UFC 215 main event on Saturday at Rogers Place in Edmonton, Alberta. Meanwhile, welterweight co-headliners Neil Magny (169.5) and Rafael dos Anjos (170) also met their contracted weight requirements at Friday’s official weigh-in.
