FOX Sports Florian believes this rematch lives up to the exciting battle that the two had the first time they fought.“Nunes was dominant early on, then in the third round, it was Shevchenko who was gaining speed and beating up Nunes. It got a lot of people thinking if there was a fourth or fifth round, Shevchenko would have finished her,” said Florian. “Here’s the thing – Nunes is a very different fighter than the first time they fought. She’s confident and she’s very slick with both her grappling and striking, while Shevchenko has also gotten better. I can’t wait for this fight.”Watch the complete breakdown from last Sunday’s UFC FIGHT NIGHT POSTFIGHT SHOW here.Coverage of this epic week of UFC events kicks off on FS1 on Wednesday, July 5 (8:00 PM ET) with the weekly news and information show UFC TONIGHT filmed on-location at the Park Theater in Las Vegas.
