What’s next for Valentina Shevchenko

The ‘Bullet’ seems to be almost untouchable at 125, annihilating all the competition she has faced so far. However, there are still a lot of challenges left for her at flyweight in the form of rematches and young contenders on the rise. Shevchenko could always have the massive rematches with Joanna Jędrzejczyk or Amanda Nunes if she desires or she could move down a weight class and fight Rose Namajunas.
