After another balanced defeat to Amanda nunes, Peruvian-Kyrgyzstani Valentina Shevchenko decided to move down to his natural division, flyweight, recently opened by the UFC. But that doesn't mean she doesn't still want a trilogy with the bantamweight champion, who won both of their fights by decision.

Shevchenko is certain that she won the second fight between the two, held at UFC 215, and comments that she has “unfinished business” with the Brazilian.
“It’s on my mind all the time. We have unfinished business, Amanda and I. But now my focus is flyweight and after that, I guarantee that we will come back and talk about it again”, commented Shevchenko, on the North American program The MMA Hour.
Now at flyweight, the short-term focus is on the new champion of the category Nicco Montaño, winner of The Ultimate Fighter 26. Valentina said she has no problem fighting once at 57 kg. before facing the belt owner.
“Of course I want to fight for the title again, but now as a flyweight. I don't care if I have to fight once before then. I'll do it. My main objective is to be champion. I went from 61 kg to 57 kg and my focus is the same, to be champion. I think fighting against opponents of the same size will help me show more techniques and skills. That’s what I want to show, a beautiful fight with beautiful techniques”, he concluded.
