Valentina Shevchenko hopes her rescheduled rematch at UFC 215 with Amanda Nunes takes place without issue.
Back in June, Shevchenko was supposed to get a title opportunity against women’s bantamweight champion Nunes. The competitors even weighed in and it appeared all was normal. That was until “The Lioness” pulled out of the bout with a case of sinusitis.
Speaking to MMAJunkie.com, “Bullet” said she doesn’t want to imagine another canceled title bout:
“I’m trying to not think about this. I hope it won’t happen again. But you never know. I know what I have to do – I have to prepare for this fight and be in my best shape, and I will do it.”
UFC 215 will take place on Sept. 9. It’ll air live on pay-per-view.
