UFC champion in the 56.7 kg category Valentina Shevchenko ahead of upcoming title defense in fight with Tayla Santos backed former UFC Russia champion Petra Yana who lost a controversial decision to Algemain Sterling in April this year.
On April 9, Yang lost to American Sterling by split decision (48-47, 47-48, 47-48) at the UFC 273 tournament in Jacksonville, Florida. Before that, the fighters met in March 2021, the victory also went to the American.
“It’s very hard to say from the outside, without knowing all the factors that were before the fight,” Shevchenko told of Jan’s second- and third-round problems. – We remember that his seconds could not come with him, we overlapped with one, and here it is impossible to form an opinion. I think Peter is a very strong, very versatile fighter, his fights are interesting to watch. I understand what happened, but I truly believe he will take his own and show all sides in the best way possible.
Valentina Shevchenko represents Kyrgyzstan in the UFC, she has 22 wins, 3 losses. The bout with 28-year-old Brazilian Tayla Santos (19 wins, one loss) will be the 34-year-old athlete’s seventh to champion status. The fight will take place on June 11 in Singapore.
