UFC 261: Valentina Shevchenko vs Jessica Andrade Preview

Valentina Shevchenko is one of the baddest women in UFC. She is currently ranked at number two in the UFC women’s pound-for-pound rankings and she is on a six-fight win streak coming into this fight, with her latest win coming against Jennifer Maia at UFC 255.

She won the UFC flyweight title by defeating Joanna Jędrzejczyk at UFC 231 and since then she defended it four times. This is going to be her fifth title defense and a very tough task for Jessica Andrade to win against her.

Jessica Andrade, on the other hand, is the former UFC women’s strawweight champion and in her last fight against Katlyn Chookagain, she made her flyweight debut. With this win, she became the only woman to win fights in three different divisions in UFC.
