Valentina won’t be the only Shevchenko sister showing off her skills in the Octagon in the near future.
Antonina Shevchenko, Valentina’s older sibling, will face Ashlee Evans-Smith in a flyweight bout at the TUF 28 Finale on Nov. 30 in Las Vegas, sources confirmed Thursday with MMA Fighting. ESPN was the first to report the news.
Shevchenko (6-0) earned a UFC contract with a second-round TKO over Jaymee Nievara at Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series back in June. The Kyrgyzstan native is a multiple-time Muay Thai world champion, like her sister.
