The UFC women’s flyweight fighter Andrea Lee has called the champion, Valentina Shevchenko, a near-perfect fighter. And ‘KGB’ also expressed her desire to fight ‘Bullet’ someday.

‘KGB’ took on the #5 on the flyweight roster Cynthia Calvillo on the main card of UFC Vegas 42. Lee took control of the fight and secured a win within two rounds as Calvillo’s corner called for a doctor’s stoppage.

Following her victory, ‘KGB’ appeared in the post-fight press conference, where she talked about her fight and her next opponent. While talking about Shevchenko’s dominant win at UFC 266, Lee said, “Honestly, Valentina is pretty close to perfect, you know?

“She’s doesn’t have a whole lot of weaknesses. But you know I wanna, I’m hoping to get out there and bring it to her, someday. And give the fans you know something to watch.”

Will Andrea Lee Get a Fight Against Valentina Shevchenko?

Andrea Lee (13-5) was once on a three-fight win streak right after her debut in the promotion. However, she faced a rough phase after 2019 and went on a three-fight skid.

Interestingly, the 32-year-old has made a mark in the division with her amazing performances. She is currently #12 in the flyweight division. However, many are suggesting a possible title clash against the current champion Valentina Shevchenko.

Meanwhile, ‘Bullet’ is one of the most dominant female fighters in the UFC currently. She is on an impressive eight-fight win streak and has six successful title defenses to her name.

‘Bullet’ is fresh from her recent win against Lauren Murphy and waiting for her next opponent. However, she has defeated almost every fighter, who’s among the top 10, in the division.
