Meanwhile, ‘Bullet’, undefeated since 2017, now stands at the number one position on the roster. As Shevchenko has defeated almost every fighter in her division, many consider her as one of the greatest female fighters of all time. However, she has two losses in the UFC, both against Nunes.
Both were close fights, but many still argue about the split decision in the second. Hence, a trilogy bout will settle the score once and for all. Also, if ‘Bullet’ wins against ‘The Lioness’, she will surely register herself as a G.O.A.T. of this era.
