Valentina Shevchenko has been enjoying life as UFC champion.
Shevchenko, who won the women’s flyweight title last year, defends it for the second time Saturday night in the UFC Uruguay main event against Liz Carmouche. “Bullet” might be a bit busier than before, but she said life has pretty much stayed the same since reaching the top of the 125-pound division eight months ago.
“I try to keep my lifestyle the same as it was before, because it shows me that my lifestyle is good for me and I can be successful with the same lifestyle,” Shevchenko told Bloody Elbow.
