UFC Women’s Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko recently took to Instagram to re-post a video shared by her sister, Antonina Shevchenko.

In the video, Antonina is pulling a plane on the runway, most probably preparing it for take-off. The fact that she can move a giant metal-tube-on-wheels is a true testament to the unrealistic strength that the Shevchenkoes house.

Antonina Shevchenko currently ranks #12 in Flyweight Division and holds a record of 8-1-0. A pretty decent career, isn’t it? Yet, Antonina appears to be learning to fly with the utmost diligence, almost as much as she incorporates into training. It looks like she is following Conor McGregor’s model of following one’s passions.

Valentina Shevchenko does not trust sister Antonina Shevchenko’s flying skills

In the caption of her post, Antonina shared that her sister often visits her when she is training to fly. Yet, it appears that Valentina does not trust her sister’s skills enough to fly with her. Antonina wrote, “Valya[Valentina] came to watch me handle. And although she has seen so many times that I already got a private pilot, she still refuses to fly with me. She says to fly another 200 hours[.]” 

The reason that Antonina gave for the behavior on her sister’s part seems justified. She said that Valentina is probably so paranoid about sitting with her in an aircraft because she was witness to Antonina’s earlier experiences with flying.

Well, whatever these early experiences are, Valentina will definitely get over them as soon as Antonina perfects flying. The Shevchenko sisters just do not let go of their pursuit of perfection, be it fighting or any other passion of theirs.
