Thats why I love Sevchenko. ALWAYS classy.

[ZSA]

Valentina showed class didn’t get upset didn’t get mad didn’t try to attack back makes Amanda look like a bully

[Relentless-fsxs]

Valentina is a class act. Always smiling and a very good fighter as well.

[mubbashirmasood]

Valentina shevchenko is so classy even after that stunt that Nunes pulled.

[TheWeasleMMA]

These are easily the two best, most well- rounded, and most skilled fighters in this division's short history. Who ever wins here is going to be tough to beat for other contenders.

[aaaqui]

I am a Brazilian and I am for Valentina; always classy!

[sixsiege]

[chainwizardscw]

[sandrolaureano]

Valentina uma verdadeira lutadora, não faltou com repeito !

[ducheau]

valentina never even touched her. She just moved her fist closer. Nunes way overeacted. But this was funny

[brionabandin]

You can tell Amanda touched her and Valentina didn't. Look at the guy in the long sleeve that was in between them. He reprimanded Nunes not Valentina. You can even see him saying "no" while Nunes is trying to say she touched her first.

[Kju-pulw]

Usada needs to start doing gender tests.... my god !

[coreycarroll]

One of the many reasons I can't stand Amanda

[Cimpil]

Валентина Шевченко классная. Молодец! И женственная и боец хороший. Молодец!

[Ymirson]

I used to respect Nunes but not anymore. What a cheap, low class thing to do.

[TheRichie]

I thought she was more humble than that.

You can see Schevchenko's fist all the time, so she could not have touched Amanda. Amanda set that up by motioning to Schevchenko to come forward, and then by taking Schevchenko's pose further. Schevchenko moved her fist forward as a consequence, and that sparked Amanda's push. Amanda took the upper-hand on everyone, and reinforced that later by claiming that Schevchenko hit her first. She then reemphasize the point over and over, which is a sign of covering her tracks. Amanda doesn't seem mad about it more than she seems desiring to defend her push. 1. Nunes calls Schevenko forward2. Schevchenko takes a soft pose, but Nunes takes an aggressive pose3. Schevenko extends her arm, and Nunes jabs Schevenko4. Nunes is immediately on the defensive, claiming "she hit me first"5. Later she wanst Schevenko to confirm that by pointing to Schevenko claiming "you hit me first"6. Nunes keeps defending herself, rather than feeling slighted7. Nunes is masking the fact that she set that up That golden blonde hair, though.
