    Looking forward to the main event. The woman who ended Ronda Rousey's career. Amanda Nunes up against a dangerous challenger, Valentina Shevchenko.

    Also Yoel Romero goes up against Robert Whittaker.

    Should be a solid event.

    Really looking forward to seeing the two main fights. It says a lot about Shevchenko that she's so competitive at bantam weight given that she's a more natural flyweight. If she can weather the storm of the first few rounds it'll be really interesting come the championship rounds.

    I think it will be a much tougher fight for Nunes this time, Rousey was exposed for fraud she was last time out. Shevchenko is a more well rounded martial artist. I would still pick Nunes

    Joanna Jedrzejczyk campaigning to step in on short notice to fight Valentina but Dana White is saying the NSAC wouldn't go for it because of the weight difference.

    Pretty bad-ass the 115lb champ looking to step up to 135lb on 12 hours notice.

    She wants to be a 2 weight world champion, they should go for it. Id say shes around 135 anyway out of comp.

    Even more impressive when you remember she has already fought Valentina 3 times in Muay Thai fights when they were young and Valentina won all 3 of them!

    Drama.....

    Dana White says "The doctors have cleared Amanda Nunes to fight but you can't force anyone to fight if they don't want to fight".

    Seen that on twitter, basically she was cleared but still said she felt unwell.

    It's a tough one I suppose but what's the point in getting checked out by doctors if they say she's grand to fight and she still pulls out?

    Put it this way she's not making any new fans this week.

    If she was cleared to fight but refused to fight, is there any chance she might get stripped?

    Exactly, shes not doing herself any favours. I really hope JJ gets cleared what a fight again that would be.

    If shes not well and has to go to a hospital i would say shes not fit to fight to be honest. If she fights unwell and loses and looks terrible it does nothing for her. As champ she can call her own shot here.

    In fairness is a doctor saying she is physically able to fight? Would a gp say she is still under the weather? I wouldnt believe anything dana says. Is it a ufc dotor clearing her?

    I mean yes in theory that is true. This is the Las Vegas commission though, the very one that sanctioned the best ever against a 0-0 boxer :pac: Few brown envelopes from Dana and they can get this fight sanctioned.
