UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko is set to take on Lauren Murphy this weekend at UFC 266. The title fight will take place in the co-main event of the pay-per-view. Ahead of the event, fighters appeared at the pre-fight press conference of the card, and Shevchenko was asked about her assessment of Jake Paul.
The YouTuber has made a name for himself in the world of boxing. He is currently 4-0 as a professional, having managed to get wins over former UFC veterans like Ben Askren and Tyron Woodley. After knocking out the former Bellator MMA and ONE Championship welterweight champion Askren, Paul earned a split decision against the former UFC welterweight kingpin, Tyron Woodley.

However, ‘Bullet’ is not very impressed with Paul’s skills. When asked how long it would take for her and her sister Antonina to finish the Paul brothers Jake and Logan in a fight, Shevchenko said, “Zero seconds. Not even one second.”

So, it’s tough to find a genuine reason Murphy could pose a serious threat.
