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?

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.
