Valentina Shevchenko says fellow UFC champ Jessica Andrade has work to do before potentially moving up in weight to fight for a second belt.

Shevchenko (17-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) has a title defense of her own lined up, as well, with the women’s flyweight queen set to meet Liz Carmouche (13-6 MMA, 5-4 UFC) on Saturday at UFC on ESPN+ 14. Andrade is captivated by a potential clash.
