I want a KO.” Shevchenko (7-0 MMA, 1-0 UFC) takes on Roxanne Modafferi (22-15 MMA, 1-3 UFC) at UFC on ESPN+ 7, which takes place at Yubileyniy Arena in St. Petersburg, Russia, and streams live on ESPN+. As a native of Kyrgyzstan, a former Soviet Republic, Shevchenko is thrilled at the opportunity to take part in the first women’s UFC contest to take place on Russian soil
