They then had their rematch at UFC 215 as Nunes was defending her bantamweight title and once again the Brazilian got her hand raised, yet this time was by a controversial split decision. Since then, Shevchenko went down to flyweight and has gone 8-0 including defending her belt six times. With that, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/amanda-nunes\/valentina-shevchenko-confident-amanda-nunes-trilogy-will-happen-one-day\/\">many are calling for the trilogy<\/a> to happen, however, Shevchenko claims Nunes isn&#8217;t interested in it.<\/p>\n<p id=\"yXeQHZ\">\u201cI kind of feel that she\u2019s doesn\u2019t want too much this fight to happen,\u201d Shevchenko said on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.mmafighting.com\/2021\/9\/29\/22700942\/valentina-shevchenko-amanda-nunes-doesnt-want-trilogy-she-knows-she-was-gifted-victory-in-rematch\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">The MMA Hour<\/a>. \u201cBecause inside of herself, she feels that she was gifted the victory from our second fight. Gifted by the judges. She feels that she was beaten by the smaller girl from the smaller weight class and she is a bigger girl. It\u2019s kind of like pressure on her from the inside.<\/p>\n<p id=\"uQcTAD\">\u201cThat\u2019s why she kind of like says \u2018I [beat] her twice,\u2019 whatever she\u2019s saying,&#8221; Shevchenko continued. &#8220;But it\u2019s kind of like this camouflages what she\u2019s feeling for real and definitely, if you was beaten by someone smaller than you by two [weight classes], it would affect you. That\u2019s why I feel she\u2019s kind of like \u2018I don\u2019t want that fight happening.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Nunes has never fully said she doesn&#8217;t want the fight, Valentina Shevchenko has noticed the Brazilian isn&#8217;t as open to it as she and the UFC are.<\/p>\n<p id=\"a3x1Gd\">\u201cIt kind of makes sense exactly this way because if you listen to her interviews all the time, she\u2019s kind of like \u2018why do I have to fight her? I beat her twice, I don\u2019t have nothing to do with that\u2019 and it\u2019s kind of like when you start to defend yourself in this aggressive style,\u201d Shevchenko said. \u201cIt means that inside of you, you have something saying oh no, you\u2019re guilty. Inside of her, it\u2019s saying that \u2018no, you lost that fight.\u2019\u201d<\/p>\n<p>If Nunes does decided to budge on the trilogy and make the third fight happen, Shevchenko is confident she would get her hand raised even though she is a lot smaller than Nunes.<\/p>\n<p id=\"tsMSm8\">\u201cThis is my goal. I know that when we will have fight next time, it\u2019s going to be I will be ready to do anything,\u201d Shevchenko said. \u201cTime passed, I\u2019m a different fighter, she is a different fighter than the last time that we fought. In my mind, in my mindset, I don\u2019t have any \u2018maybe if \u2026. I will try\u2019 \u2014 no, my mind is like only there. Only forward. No matter. I have to die [in] there but I have to be in there.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Would you like to see Valentina Shevchenko vs. Amanda Nunes?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As Valentina Shevchenko and Amanda Nunes continue to dominate their divisions, the call for the trilogy has only increased, yet for Shevchenko, she says the Brazilian doesn&#8217;t want it.
