LAS VEGAS — UFC 213 took a shocking turn just hours before Saturday night’s fights were scheduled to start at T-Mobile Arena, with the news that bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes was too sick to fight Valentina Shevchenko in the main event.
That forced the UFC to revamp the card at the last minute, with Yoel Romero’s interim middleweight championship fight against Robert Whittaker now the main event and Woburn, Mass.-based fighter Rob Font moved to the main card against Douglas Silva de Andrade.
