UFC 213: Nunes vs Shevchenko 2 Info and Prediction Thread

[bbc.reporter]

It was posted at mmanews.com that a Amanda Nunes versus Valentina Shevchenko fight for the women's bantamweight championship is planned. UFC 213 might be one of the best the UFC has given us for this year. It already has TJ Dillashaw versus Cody Garbradnt, Cowboy versus Robbie Lawler and of course the main event The Count versus GSP.

Looks like its a heavy stack up match. Adding Nunes vs Shevchenko. This will be a terrific fight. Nunes looking for her second successful defense of her championship after finishing Miesha Tate. On the other hand, Shevchenko with her dominant win over former champion Holly Holm and has win as well with Pena. I believed Amanda simply is bigger and more powerful than Val but Val has the speed. So its really hard to predict who will take this. But for all intent and purposes, I will go to Nunes to win this fight.

Isn't Michael Bisping the guy that lost an eye during a fight? I think he just should retire, fighting with 1 eye only is an huge disadvantage. He is great at commentating, so I would stikc to that.

GSP is great, but out of his prime, this may give Bisping a chance, but again, fighting with 1 eye vs a MMA legend is just crazy.

Yes he has a vision problem he detached his retina and had to undergo a surgery,and he was fighting with it for a long time now,if you look at his fights all of them are great wars and you wont recognize the face as the punishment he used to endure is tremendous ,when he became the champion it was a good moment as he really deserved to win the championship before retirement and since he only intends to do a couple of fights in his career he is choosing his opponents so that he could make the maximum amount of money to have a good retired life.

I am a big fan of Valentina Shevchenko and she has accomplished a lot in her fight career and their first fight was a close one than the results show,Nunes had a successful title defense when she smoked the only grail of Ronda Rousey and Shevchenko is a good test and if she can get her to the second round then Valentina Shevchenko has a better chance to win.

If GSP wins and surprises everyone, who do you think his next opponent should be? I speculate the UFC is going to set up an Anderson Silva versus GSP for the middleweight championship. But Anderson should first fight someone like Yoel Romero and win because he is only no.7 in the rankings.

Fuck! Bisping vs GSP card got cancelled! Unbelievable:

It looks like GSP is definitely out, but Bisping may be still be fighting against another opponent but we all wanted to see that fight, without GSP Bisping is not going to make as much money so he is pretty pissed off... another failure for the UFC.

I don't understand why GSP says he can't fight until november.

Does anyone have info on that?

Shevchenko is so awesome. Gotta <3 that girl.

[eaLiTy]

I don't understand why GSP says he can't fight until november.

He is making his return after a very long time and he is debuting in a new weight class and he needs to bulk up to face Bisping and it is not easy for a person who is always in shape bulk up and expect to have good cardio ,so is the reason it takes this much time for him to make a come back,now he should face Anderson Silva which i wanted to see for a very long time.

[thejaytiesto]

Dana White said that he is not going to wait for George Saint Pierre so this means GSP is going to face another fighter later on. Isn't Silva too big for GSP? I would like to see that fight tho, it's actually better than the Bisping fight imo. It's a fight between two legends.

I would like to see GSP vs McGregor too.

[SaShiRaJaVu]

@thejaytiesto i do not think that there is much of a big difference in size and if you look at their reach GSP is having a 76 inch reach while Anderson Silva have a slight reach advantage of 77.5 inch and GSP walks around 190 to 200 pounds and Anderson is also not a very huge person,but one thing is sure GSP wont fight Romero has he is a really huge specimen.

Its too late now to see those 2 fighting. They should have fought when both are still in their prime in UFC. Fans have lost interest now, specially on Anderson Silva's antics. If they fought like 4 or 5 years ago, that would be huge then. But if they fought on their prime, Anderson Silva will surely win.

It will be a good fight no matter what and it should have happened when they were ruling their respective divisions and now things have changed a lot but still i would like to see them fight.GSP could take Anderson Silva down and who knows whether he could control the fight in the ground,it would have being a spectacle and as a fight fan i would still love to see this fight.

There are also stories in the internet that Cody Garbrandt vs TJ Dillashaw might be cancelled also. They say Cody has a back injury that might take time to heal.

I speculate Dana White will renegotiate with Anderson Silva and push him to fight in UFC 213 versus a worthy opponent. The problem is who?

I haven't see any news that Cody Garbrandt vs TJ Dillashaw might be cancelled. I don't know about Silva, he still act a primadonna,  He's no longer the champion. What not push for Romero vs Silva? Any thoughts? or maybe it is much better if Anderson Silva retires now?

[bbc.reporter]

@peter0425. News and updates today are hard to miss. A simple search on the internet and you will find everything you are looking for.

Let me get it for you. http://www.mmamania.com/2017/5/12/15633588/cody-garbrandt-reveals-back-injury-t-j-dillashaw-bout-up-in-the-air

The article says that Cody will have his back surgery in under 3 months. That will put his fight versus TJ in doubt.

Anyone tuning in to watch invicta today? There will be three former UFC fighters on the card Elizabeth Phillips, Kelly Faszholz and Roxanne Modafferi. I think there also was a Titan FC card yesterday with some former UFC fighters. MMA's support seems to be increasing. Always a good thing, am I right?

 

Hope they find someone good to fill in for Bisping vs GSP @ UFC 213. Looks like it may already be too late?

[bbc.reporter]

@Hydrogen. I speculate it will be Anderson Silva and I hope it will be versus Yoel Romero. What is the news on Michael Bisping? Is he still interested for UFC 213? I heard he is also out.

[Mbokani]

@Hydrogen It is always good to see more promotions coming up,is it possible to wage a bet on all those fights and where can i view those fights,since UFC is the only big promotion it was really difficult to find Bellator events streaming live,they have to either increase the viewing opportunity for the rest of the world .

@Hydrogen. I speculate it will be Anderson Silva and I hope it will be versus Yoel Romero. What is the news on Michael Bisping? Is he still interested for UFC 213? I heard he is also out.

It is highly unlikely Anderson Silva  will be given a shot at the interim title,Michael Bisping is not interested to fight Yoel Romero and what he says now is that he is nursing an injury and so it will take a long time to recover he just wants the big money fight against GSP,i can understand why everyone is afraid of Romero,the most likely candidate to get the shot is Robert Whittaker.
