Amanda Nunes doubts Valentina Shevchenko trilogy happens after Alexa Grasso’s UFC title win

VANCOUVER, British Columbia – Amanda Nunes doubts she’ll see Valentina Shevchenko inside the cage again.

The two-division UFC women’s champion doesn’t like her chances of fighting Shevchenko a third time – especially since Shevchenko lost her UFC women’s flyweight title a couple of months ago to Alexa Grasso.

“Yeah, I don’t know,” Nunes said at Wednesday’s UFC 289 pre-fight news conference. “I think I have a lot of noise at 135, and I don’t think the UFC is going to stop and then go back with the Valentina thing. That don’t sell nothing.”
