UFC Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes broke her silence earlier today about why she pulled out of the UFC 213 main event on Saturday night, July 8.
According to Nunes, she pulled out of her main event match due to “chronic sinusitis.”

Amanda Nunes pulled out of her main event fight against Valentina Shevchenko only hours before their match. Despite the UFC’s efforts to replace her with Women’s Strawweight Champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk, the interim middleweight championship bout between Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker took the place of the main event.
