Reigning UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko recently made a triumphant return home in the wake of her most recent title defense.
In a video posted on her Instagram account, “Bullet” returns to her native Kyrgyzstan to a warm welcome from her home country. One of the top pound-for-pound talents in the sport, Shevchenko is coming off a fourth-round technical knockout victory against Lauren Murphy at UFC 266 on Sept. 25.
The 33-year-old Tiger Muay Thai representative has been unstoppable since moving from bantamweight to 125 pounds, posting eight dominant victories — including seven wins in championship fights.
