That\u2019s not something we\u2019ve seen her do before, so I\u2019d absolutely do it again, and do things differently, and actually take that belt from her.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>From the sounds of it, Liz Carmouche definitely anticipated a more aggressive Valentina Shevchenko in the cage at UFC Uruguay.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI absolutely anticipated that she would be a lot more aggressive and less hesitant,&#8221; she said. &#8220;I think that because of the style that I was doing was throwing her off, but I thought that she\u2019d be much more resilient in it, and be more aggressive off of that instead of being more cautious and hesitant.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Do you think we&#8217;ll see a third fight between flyweight rivals Valentina Shevchenko and Liz Carmouche in the future?<\/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 8\/12\/2019. <\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Valentina Shevchenko and Liz Carmouche are now tied 1-1 across two bouts.
