While the grounds for a third fight would certainly seem to be there as a result, this is not something Nunes is interested in.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI don\u2019t care about [Shevchenko],\u201d Nunes told <a href=\"http:\/\/mmajunkie.com\/2018\/03\/amanda-nunes-flyweight-champ-but-valentina-shevchenko-dont-care-about-her\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">MMAJunkie<\/a> this week. \u201cShe\u2019s, like, only Valentina. She\u2019s going to talk about me. I\u2019m the best, you know? That\u2019s why she talks about me.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI beat her twice,&#8221; she continued. &#8220;She had her chance to try and beat me, clear. She did a couple of things in the [second] fight, but I don\u2019t think she deserves the belt. She wasn\u2019t able to hold me back that much in the cage. It was the same in the first fight.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>For the moment, Nunes&#8217; focus is glued to her UFC 224 title defense opposite <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/exclusive-interviews\/exclusive-raquel-pennington-relieved-she-got-amanda-nunes-fight-over-cyborg-common-sense-prevailed\/\">Raquel Pennington<\/a>. Should she topple this challenge, she might then start considering fights in other divisions \u2013 perhaps even a flyweight rematch with Shevchenko.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRight now, I\u2019m really focused on this fight [with Pennington]; it\u2019s very hard to talk about the next step,\u201d Nunes said. \u201cI have to go through this one first. But when you get in my position, I\u2019m the best in my division. I think from here, you only want to prove yourself more and more. Going down to 125 and trying the 125 belt, or going up, this is the thing that sometimes you have to do to keep yourself in the top.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cImagine if I beat the girls in the other divisions. That\u2019s going to be huge for me. It\u2019s going to be a lot of dreams come true. But right now, I\u2019m focusing on this fight. This fight is a big fight in my career right now, and to keep this belt is more important to me.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Does an Amanda Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko rematch interest you?<\/p>\n<p class=\"p1\"><i>This article first appeared on\u00a0<\/i><a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/\"><span class=\"s1\"><i>BJPenn.com<\/i><\/span><\/a><i>\u00a0on 3\/21\/2018.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>UFC women&#8217;s bantamweight champ Amanda Nunes and top flyweight contender Valentina Shevchenko have previously engaged in two competitive scraps, with Nunes&#8217; emerging the victor by a narrow margin on both occasions.
