Legacy vet, Valentina Shevchenko, stepped up on less than 2 weeks notice for Germaine de Randamie against Sarah Kaufman. Taking on the #5 ranked female bantamweight, Shevchenko earned a split decision victory at UFC on FOX 17.
With the win, there’s no telling who she’ll get next. If Shevchenko is able to string together enough wins, we may see two former Legacy fighters face off for the title.
Valentina Shevchenko became champion at UFC 231 after defeating Joanna Jedrzejczyk. Great fighter.
