Brazilian UFC flyweight fighter Taila Santos shared her thoughts on a potential rematch with division champion Valentina Shevchenko.
My manager asked the UFC for a fight with Shevchenko, he told them I was healthy and working out. They said Valentina also asked for a fight, but not against me. I wanted a rematch, but Valentina didn't agree to that. Judging by her social media, she's just traveling.

"All the girls think Valentina is a monster, but I've been saying for a long time that she fights poorly on the ground. I have shown that there was no reason to be afraid of her. I knew she wouldn't agree to a rematch after that fight, but I challenged her anyway. She wouldn't risk losing the belt. Valentina is afraid to have a rematch after I showed her there is nothing special about her. She's scared," Santos said.
