Former UFC bantamweight title challenger Valentina Shevchenko (14-3) makes her flyweight debut this weekend at UFC Fight Night: Machida vs. Anders in Belem, Brazil. The Kyrgyz-Peruvian fighter has fought five times at bantamweight, with her only losses coming to reigning 135lb champ Amanda Nunes.
Shevchenko’s last UFC fight was one of those losses to Nunes; a split decision at UFC 215. “Everyone can see the fight and see all five rounds and everyone can see, I never lost this fight,” said Shevchenko, when speaking to Bloody Elbow.
