Valentina Shevchenko defeated Joanna Jedrzejczyk for the women’s flyweight title at UFC 231 on December 8, 2018. The bout was a major setback to Jedrzejczyk’s dream of becoming a UFC two-division champion, but a huge leap forward for Shevchenko’s career.

Shevchenko has already defended the belt once, but puts the flyweight title on the line for the second time when she looks to avenge a loss to Liz Carmouche in the UFC on ESPN+ 14 main event on Saturday in Montevideo, Uruguay.
