Former foe of newly-minted flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko has once more taken aim at the decorated favorite, with Wang Cong warning the Krgysztan native she was “coming” for a title rematch sooner than later.
Shevchenko, who returned overnight in the co-main event of Noche UFC at the Las Vegas Sphere, managed to reclaim the undisputed flyweight throne in her trilogy clash with opponent, Alexa Grasso — showing off her immense wrestling and grappling skills en route to a one-sided unanimous decision win.
And avenging a prior submission loss to the Mexican back in March of last year, Shevchenko — who took the defending champion the distance at last year’s Noche UFC premiere to a draw, managed to reclaim the flyweight crown to kickstart her second reign over the 125lbs pack.
