UFC women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes recently spoke to reporters for a media day (via MMAjunkie) ahead of her title match with Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 213. Below are some highlights.

Nunes on her first fight with Shevchenko: “Nothing can change the result of the fight. I beat her already. Nothing’s going to change it. The only thing that’s going to change is that this is going to be over Saturday – because I will beat her clean. (Whether) I knock her out, submit her, go five rounds, I will clean this, to get over this. I’d love to get a finish, but MMA sometimes is not the way you planned. If we go to five rounds, I will be good. As long as I beat her, clear, it’s going to be awesome.”

Nunes on main eventing IFW: “This makes me stronger for this kind of situation. Being now at ‘International Fight Week’ is going to be awesome. I’m happy, and I’m glad the UFC did that. I will have fun and enjoy this moment of my life.”

Her thoughts on Shevchenko: “Valentina is a pretty tough opponent, but I really know everything she’s going to bring that night. She had two fights, she comes with two big wins, but she’s the same fighter since we fought. She didn’t evolve in anything, she didn’t change anything. But it’s good, because she comes off two big wins and that’s good.”
