Shevchenko: "If Nunez returns the belt, it will be another reason to move up to bantamweight"

UFC Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko made it clear that she was ready to return to the bantamweight division. According to the 33-year-old athlete, this can happen if Amanda Nunes will regain his title in a rematch with Julianna Peña.

Recall that on December 11 at UFC 269, Peña sensationally defeated Nunes by choke in the second round.

“I think that Amanda will definitely want to have a rematch in the next fight. Obviously, there will be another fight between Nunes and Peña.

If she prepares for the rematch, does everything right, then she will probably return the belt, and this will be another reason to move up to the bantamweight division for the sake of our fight, ”Sun Sport quotes Shevchenko.

Shevchenko and Nunes had two fights, in which the Brazilian took over. Amanda won the first fight by unanimous decision, the second by split.
