This weekend, in the co-main event of UFC 247, UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko defends her belt for the third time. Her opponent is Katlyn Chookagian, who earned the title shot after back-to-back wins over Joanne Calderwood and Jennifer Maia.
Shevchenko became a champion after beating Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the vacant belt in 2018. She has since defended the belt versus Jessica Eye (via highlight reel KO) and Liz Carmouche.
Ahead of her next attempted title defense the Kyrgzstani-Peruvian fighter spoke with Damon Martin of MMA Fighting about which fighters are worthy of challenging her.
