HOUSTON – There could very well be some big fights in Valentina Shevchenko’s future, but they won’t go down any time soon, at least according to UFC president Dana White Thursday, White spoke to MMA Junkie’s John Morgan about various topics including Shevchenko’s future in the company. “Bullet” currently holds the flyweight title and she’s set to defend her strap Saturday in the co-main event of UFC 247. “I mean, if you ask anybody right now about the women’s division, they’ll tell you about Amanda Nunes, Valentina Shevchenko and Weili Zhang. Literally the three champions in each division are as badass as they can be, so it’s fun.” Shevchenko (18-3 MMA, 7-2 UFC) is one of the most dominant champions in the UFC and she’s a big favorite heading into her third title defense against Katlyn Chookagian.
