Twitter reacts to Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko UFC 213 main-event cancellation


Just hours prior to the start of the event, UFC 213 lost its headliner when news broke women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes had been hospitalized and was out of her scheduled title defense against Valentina Shevchenko.

Nunes (14-4 MMA, 7-1 UFC) was reportedly battling an illness in the days leading up to her rematch with Shevchenko (14-2 MMA, 3-1 UFC), which was going to headline the pay-per-view main card following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass. It apparently was too much to endure by fight day, and “The Lioness” was ruled out of the card.

It’s a devastating blow to the UFC International Fight Week headliner, and naturally the MMA world was stunned by the last-minute development. For more, check out the top Twitter reactions to the UFC 213 main event cancellation.
