UFC contender Valentina Shevchenko has all of her focus on winning the UFC title, but after she wins it, she may be willing to fight former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Ronda Rousey.
On July 8, Shevchenko will fight UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Amanda Nunes in the main event of UFC 213.
On Thursday, Shevchenko was asked by TMZ Sports her opinion on a potential fight against Rousey.
“I’m very focused on my upcoming fight,” Shevchenko said.
Shevchenko was then asked if she had intentions of fighting Rousey.
“Not now. Not yet,” Shevchenko said.
Shevchenko is on a two-fight win streak going into her title fight against Nunes. She earned her title shot after winning a decision against former UFC Women’s Bantamweight Champion Holly Holm and submitting Julianna Pena.
Prior to her win streak, Shevchenko suffered her only UFC loss. In March 2016, Shevchenko lost a decision to Nunes.
After her win over Shevchenko, Nunes won the UFC title by submitting Miesha Tate. She has since defended her championship by knocking out Rousey.
