The main event of UFC 215 was just starting to heat up when the buzzer sounded.

After 25 minutes of methodical striking and grappling that occasionally left the audience in Edmonton, Alberta displeased with the lack of action, UFC 215 main event competitors Amanda Nunes and Valentina Shevchenko stepped up the intensity in the closing moments of the bout, jawing at each other as the buzzer sounded.

At the evening’s post-fight presser, Shevchenko was asked what was said between the two women and what caused the outburst.

“I really don’t remember exactly, but I don’t like her (attitude),” Shevchenko said.
