JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Don’t count on a trilogy fight between Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko any time soon – unless they both want it. UFC president Dana White said after UFC 261 he’s not particularly interested in seeing his dominant women’s flyweight champ, Shevchenko, move back up to 135 pounds to take on Nunes for the bantamweight belt. Shevchenko’s only two losses in the UFC have come to Nunes, who also holds the promotion’s featherweight title and widely is regarded as the best women’s MMA fighter in history after she took out Cris Cyborg to win the 145-pound belt.
