Taila Santos is trying to get a rematch with Valentina Shevchenko, but the contender seems to think that the champion is avoiding her.
Though she successfully defended the UFC flyweight championship, Shevchenko was given a tough test by Santos in their fight at UFC 275 this past June. The Brazilian was successful on the ground, controlling Shevchenko and threatening with several submission attempts. However, the reigning UFC flyweight champion turned the tide in the fourth and fifth rounds, upping the aggression and scoring with combinations on the now-compromised Santos, who suffered a broken orbital after an accidental clash of heads.
