When Valentina Shevchenko takes the cage Saturday at UFC 247, she'll be competing against more than just Katyln Chookagian.
If Shevchenko (18-3) can defeat Chookagian (13-2), as she's very much favored to do, it will be her third straight defense of the UFC women's flyweight title.
But there's an even juicier role on the horizon. You may have heard the news that Shevchenko will star across from Halle Berry in Berry's directorial debut, an MMA-themed movie called Bruised. Berry's character is a fighter, and Shevchenko's character is her primary enemy.
