Hours away from fighting Amanda Nunes for the UFC bantamweight championship in Las Vegas, Valentina Shevchenko received the news that the Brazilian was out of UFC 213 due to illness.
On social media, a "frustrated" Shevchenko released a statement on the situation, blaming Nunes for her condition.
Today I am 100% ready for this fight. During the last 3 months of training I did everything to be in my best shape for this fight. Nunes couldn't cut weight correctly and was hospitalized. She wanted to cut weight and recover rapidly to have the advantage.
