Ultimate remembers Amanda vs. Valentina for UFC 215 on September 9th
Fighters vie for the women's bantamweight title on the Edmonton card in Canada
Ultimate confirmed their plan and marked the clash between Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko for the women's bantamweight title (up to 61kg), for September 9 in Edmonton (CAN) at UFC 215, according to Combate. With sources close to the organization. The fight was supposed to have happened on July 8, at UFC 213, but the Brazilian had to be removed from the event on the day of the duel, alleging a chronic sinusitis crisis.
At UFC 213's press conference, Ultimate President Dana White stated that it made sense for Leone to defend his belt at UFC 215, however, he asserted that she would not make the main fight. This is the first title match scheduled for 9 September. The tendency is for another to be marked to be the main fight.
Amanda has 14 wins and four career losses. She won the belt in July last year when she finished Miesha Tate and defended the title in December when she knocked out Ronda Rousey in just 48 seconds. The Brazilian does not lose from this September 2014, when she was knocked out by Cat Zingano, and comes from five consecutive wins, including one over Shevchenko herself, by points.
Kyrgyzstan has 14 wins and two setbacks. His last negative result was just before Leone in March of last year. After that, she overcame Holly Holm by unanimous decision and finished Julianna Peña.
So not confirmed, but initially expected to be co-main event. Not sure what may headline, I think this may be the main event, with JDS/Ngannou in the co-main slot, unless they have a flyweight title bout as headliner.
Congratulations Alberta!
