Valentina Shevchenko tror inte på Amanda Nunes förklaring angående UFC 213

Valentina Shevchenko buren

UFCs mästarinna i bantamvikt Amanda Nunes och Valentina Shevchenko ska mötas ännu en gång på UFC 215.

De möttes för första gången i mars förra året på UFC 196 där Nunes vann via enhälligt domslut. De båda skulle ha möts i en returmatch på UFC 213 i juli men Nunes drog sig ur matchen samma dag som matchen skulle äga rum på grund av att hon inte mådde bra.

Shevchenko säger till BJPenn.com att hon fortfarande är lika motiverad att ta bältet från Nunes.

Every time my goal remains the same. My goal is to be the champion. I was so close in July, just a few hours away from my fight (the cancellation occurred). But I was just like ‘Ok it is not happening now but it will come.’ Now we have a date, two months after July 8. It is the perfect time (UFC 215). I was able to have a little bit of rest and now come back with some strong training. But for me, as far as motivation, every time I am motivated. I don’t need something extra because I am always able to push and motivate myself.

Hon berättar även att hon inte trodde på Nunes förklaring till varför hon drog sig ur matchen på UFC 213. Hon tror att det handlade om problem med viktnedgången.

You know, I did not believe in her reason and what she said like it was a sinus infection or whatever she was saying. I do not believe that was the true reason. I think that the more likely truth is that she was cutting weight and in the final 24 hours it was just too much. She was probably just feeling very weak.

For example, obviously when you have some issue with your health, you go to the doctor and say ‘I have this problem’. But she (Nunes) didn’t say anything like that. Then, of course, the doctor checked her and everything was good, he cleared her but she still was not feeling good… Because of the weight cut. That is why I am sure that the more truthful reason is the weight cut forced her to pull out.

Shevchenko och Nunes möts i en returmatch på UFC 215 den 9:e september.
