Liz Carmouche expected Valentina Shevchenko to be ‘more aggressive,’ wants trilogy bout

For those keeping score at home, Valentina Shevchenko and Liz Carmouche are tied at one win apiece after their main event encounter at UFC Uruguay.

However, it’s hard to imagine fans clamoring for a third meeting between the two flyweights after Saturday’s rematch resulted in 25 mostly uneventful minutes of competition that were decidedly in favor of Shevchenko, the defending UFC champion.

Carmouche went five rounds with the dangerous Shevchenko, but on more than one occasion the crowd at Antel Arena in Montevideo booed the low-octane encounter. According to Carmouche, their styles simply didn’t mesh and a lot of that had to do with the fact that she expected “Bullet” to bring a lot more heat.
