Now, she has four consecutive victories. The last of them, took place in October 2022 against Brazil’s Viviane Araújo. This will be her first UFC title fight and has all of Mexico very excited, as she is the first fighter of the country to get this great opportunity.
JefeBet Prediction
Shevchenko is clearly one of the best fighters of all time and looks unbeatable. She will face an opponent like Grasso who, with her Mexican blood, knows what this kind of confrontations are like.
However, Shevchenko has a greater variety of resources to achieve a victory that will be decided on the cards.
Prediction: Valentina Shevchenko wins by unanimous decision.
