UFC 196 Main Card
#10 Valentina Shevchenko (12-1) vs.#4 Amanda Nunes (11-4)
Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko battle in the bantamweight division this Saturday at UFC 196, with Nunes looking to push her name up the ranks towards a title show, and Shevchenko looking to build in a debut win. Nunes is looking for her third straight win, and her best chance will be to get to Valentina early, as Nunes has built a reputation as one of the most dominant finishers in the women’s bantamweight division. Meanwhile, Shevchenko looked great in her UFC debut, picking up a win after accepting the fight on only eight days notice, and could be poised to make a big jump up the rankings if she’s able to pull off another upset against Nunes.
Prediction: Shevchenko shocks many with another upset win, finishing Nunes with a TKO victory.
