The shiftings surrounding UFC 230 seem to be settling down. After one canceled flyweight title bout, it has led to another.<\/p>\n
Originally, the currently vacant flyweight title was to be fought over between the current top-ranked contender and former bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko and the former strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 231<\/a> on December 8.<\/p>\n However, due to the UFC’s desperation for a title main event to top their return to Madison Square Garden, the fight was taken from Jedrzejczyk and given to No. 4 ranked flyweight contender Sijara Eubanks at the earlier UFC 230 date<\/a>.<\/p>\n The flip-flopping has happened once again… With the announcement that Daniel Cormier will now be defending his heavyweight title vs Derrick Lewis in the UFC 230 main event<\/a>, the confirmation has also come through that Shevchenko vs Eubanks is off and the Jedrzejczyk fight is back on for UFC 231 as was initially planned.<\/p>\n I asked Dana White via text if this means he'll move Valentina Shevchenko back to Toronto, against Joanna Jedrzejczyk. He responded "yes."<\/p>\n — Brett Okamoto (@bokamotoESPN) October 9, 2018<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
