Shevchenko hasn’t come close to losing the belt yet. In fact, her UFC career has been nearly perfect. In eight Octagon appearances she has six victories and her only two losses have come against Amanda Nunes, the bantamweight and featherweight champion who is widely considered the G.O.A.T. of women’s MMA.

With Nunes and Shevchenko looking invincible against all their challengers, the talk of a third fight has been surfacing.
“I’m not thinking about Amanda right now,” Shevchenko said. “I have my competition with a different name as my opponent, so it doesn’t make sense to worry about the next fight.”
But even the laser-focused Shevchenko couldn’t let the conversation end like that.
“But the last fight, it was totally a wrong result and everyone knows I won that fight,” Shevhcnko said about her split decision loss to Nunes at UFC 215. “It doesn’t depend on if she wants the fight or if I want the fight; everyone wants the fight. I know it will happen sometime. I don’t know when or where, but I will be ready.”
