After Amanda Nunes won back her bantamweight belt at UFC 277, a third fight between the Brazilian double champion and flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko seems like the fight to make.
Since Nunes already has two wins over rival Shevchenko at 135-pounds, UFC Hall of Famer and expert Michael Bisping wants the fight to happen under special circumstances.
“I talked about this a while ago on the channel, I would love to see Nunes vs. Valentina Shevchenko at 130 pounds, for a female BMF title,” Bisping said on his YouTube channel. “They did it for the guys and what’s good for the goose is good for the gander. Let’s have a female BMF. Valentina comes up to 130, Nunes comes down to 130, if she can, and that would be the big thing: if she can.”
