According to mixed martial arts journalist Ariel Helwani, the main event for Saturday night's UFC 213 show is reportedly in jeopardy as UFC women's bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes is in the hospital with an illness.
"Amanda Nunes has been feeling ill this week. She's currently in the hospital. Tonight's main event is in jeopardy. No official word yet. Growing sentiment is it will be hard to pull off, but her team and UFC aren't confirming anything at this time."
Nunes was scheduled to fight Valentina Shevchenko for the title.
Helwani mentioned that if Nunes is unable to go, the middleweight fight between Yoel Romero and Robert Whittaker will serve as the main event.
