LOS ANGELES – On Saturday, Valentina Shevchenko will take her second crack at a UFC title. In September 2017, Shevchenko (15-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) lost a close title fight to women’s bantamweight champion Amanda Nunes at UFC 215. After that, she made the drop to flyweight. Saturday, she’ll take on former stawweight champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk (14-2 MMA, 9-2 UFC) for the vacant women’s flyweight title in the UFC 231 co-main event at Scotiabank Arena in Toronto. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on FS1 and UFC Fight Pass.
