Valentina Shevchenko Confirms Return to UFC action After a Long Hiatus

Valentina Shevchenko is undoubtedly one of the most dangerous fighters in the world. The fighter currently stands first in the UFC women’s pound for pound rankings. ‘Bullet’ is also the current reigning UFC flyweight champion. 

No fighter in the flyweight division has been able to get the better of Shevchenko. ‘Bullet’ won the Flyweight title at UFC 231 in 2018. Ever since then, she has had six successful title defenses. The last time we saw her fight was at UFC 266, on September 25, 2021.

The champion recently took to Twitter to announce that she’s ready for her next opponent after being away for a long time. 

“Ready for the next!”, wrote Shevchenko. Shevchenko is a great fighter and has victories over four current or former UFC champions, which include Holly Holm, Julianna Pena, Joanna Jedrzejczyk, and Jéssica Andrade.

‘Bullet Valentina’ also holds the record for the most knockout wins in UFC Flyweight division history. We have seen some beautiful knockout wins from Valentina. Her wins over Jessica Eye, Jéssica Andrade, Lauren Murphy are a testament to her ability to knock her opponent’s lights out.

What’s next for Valentina Shevchenko?

Shevchenko seems unbeatable in her current form at the UFC. She has simply outclassed every fighter in every aspect when she steps into the cage.

Many believe that a rematch with Jessica Andrade is next for the champion. Andrade is currently the first contender in the women’s flyweight division. She is coming off a win against Cynthia Calvillo at UFC 266.

If not Jessica Andrade, the champion’s next opponent will most likely take on the number 2 ranked flyweight fighter, Katlyn Chookagian. Chookagian is currently on a three-fight win streak.
