The women’s bantamweight title fight between champion Amanda Nunes and challenger Valentina Shevchenko has been rescheduled for UFC 215, according to a report by Combate<\/a>. UFC 215 takes place in Edmonton, Canada, on September 9.<\/p>\n

The two were supposed to fight in the main event of UFC 213. However, Nunes withdrew from the competition the day of their fight<\/a> after claiming that she felt ill.<\/p>\n

\"Valentina<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cEveryone is wanting to hear my side so here it is\u2026.. I have chronic sinusitis,” Nunes wrote in a post on social media<\/a> after pulling out of the title fight. “I have fought with it before but this time It didn\u2019t work out, during the weight cut I was unable to breath and felt off balance from the pressure in my sinuses. I was not feeling well enough to risk getting punched in the head with such pressure. I was taken to the hospital after weigh ins and they only checked my blood and dehydration so cleared me based on that. The next day I went back and they did a CT scan and found a build up and I was prescribed antibiotics and referred to a specialist. I have never pulled out of a fight before. I am sorry to all my fans that came out to see me, I\u2019ll make it up to you the next time I step in the cage. The fight is being rescheduled. I still want this fight. I still want this opponent. Thank you\u201d<\/p>\n

UFC President Dana White stated that Nunes medically cleared by doctors but still was not willing to risk going to competition in her condition.<\/p>\n

\"Amanda<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cYou can\u2019t make anybody fight,\u201d White said<\/a>. \u201cShe said, \u2018I don\u2019t feel right.\u2019 I think it was 90 percent mental and 10 percent physical. A lot of times we\u2019ve had fighters who don\u2019t feel right and other times they\u2019re outright sick. I don\u2019t know if I\u2019ve ever had a situation like today where she was physically capable of fighting.\u201d<\/p>\n
