Valentina Shevchenko just wants to fight.
Last month, Dana White announced that Shevchenko would put her flyweight championship on the line against No. 2 ranked contender Manon Fiorot at UFC 315 on May 10.
The news came as a bit of a surprise to fight fans after White appeared to be on board for a champion vs. champion clash between ‘Bullet’ and reigning strawweight queen Zhang Weili. ‘Magnum’ scored a dominant decision victory over Tatiana Suarez at UFC 312 and immediately floated the idea of moving up to face Shevchenko in what would undoubtedly be one of the biggest women’s fights in UFC history.
