Valentina Shevchenko is looking to regain the title she lost.
"Definitely an immediate rematch because I know I was winning the fight," Shevchenko admitted to UFC commentator Joe Rogan in her post-fight interview.
"You win the fight in all three rounds without a doubt. And a stupid situation can change the whole game. That's part of the game. Congratulations to Alexa, and I know I'm stronger, and if it wasn't for that spinning kick, there would have been a different result," she added.
