Valentina Shevchenko has not yet swallowed the defeat suffered by Amanda nunes at UFC 215 last Saturday (9). The naturalized Peruvian Kyrgyz used social media to “vent” about the setback, and analyzed the duel with the Brazilian, ensuring that she won at least three rounds. Writing in Spanish, English and Russian, “Bullet” spared no criticism of the side judges, who saw the Lioness' victory in a split decision.

Shevchenko begins the text by thanking fans, friends and even the media for their support. Afterwards, he reveals that he dislocated one of the fingers on his left hand in the first round, but overcame the problem by halftime with the help of one of his trainers. And she even analyzes some of the rules of MMA, saying that the fighter who moves forward only has an advantage if the one moving backwards is passive, which, according to her, was not her case.
“At the beginning of the first round, after an exchange of punches, I dislocated one of the fingers on my left hand so I couldn't attack and gain an advantage in the first round. During the break after the first round, my coach Pavel Fedotov replaced my finger and from then on I was able to work with both hands. And in the last round, Nunes got a takedown against one of mine. Additionally, the new rules say that if you do no damage or take any action when holding a position (including falling) then that control gives you no advantage. And Nunes couldn't even land a punch on the ground. During the entire fight, I didn't get punched in the face. If anyone has doubts about my victory in rounds 2, 3 and 4, then what advantage did Nunes have in those rounds?”, asked Valentina, angry, and guaranteeing that she will meet Amanda again.
“Nunes, you can write – we will meet again!”, he concluded.
