UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes will confront Valentina Shevchenko in the main event of UFC 213 on July 8.

Nunes took a unanimous decision over Shevchenko in their first matchup at UFC 196. The win catapulted her into a title shot and she defeated Miesha Tate to become the champion.

Nunes said at the UFC 213 open workouts that it’s a mistake for her opponent to doubt her cardio for a five-round fight.
