Valentina Shevchenko: A Legacy in the Making
UFC Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko is set to make her eighth title defense at UFC 285.
Valentina Anatolievna Shevchenko, born on March 7, 1988, is a Kyrgyzstani and Peruvian professional mixed martial artist and former Muay Thai fighter. She is widely regarded as one of the greatest female fighters of all time, holding the UFC Flyweight Championship since 2018.
In honor of her upcoming title defense at UFC 285 on Saturday, let's take a look back at some of Shevchenko's most iconic moments as the reigning flyweight champion.
Shevchenko's dominance in the UFC has been nothing short of remarkable. She has successfully defended her title seven times, with six of those defenses coming by way of knockout or submission. Her most recent victory came against Taila Santos at UFC 275, where she secured a dominant TKO win in the fourth round.
