Russian UFC fighter Irina Alekseeva expressed the opinion that Valentina Shevchenko will once again be able to win the UFC championship belt in the flyweight category.
In March, Shevchenko lost by submission to Alexa Grasso at UFC 285 and lost the title. On September 16 in Las Vegas, they will compete in a match as part of the UFC 227 tournament.
— In the first fight, everything was decided by a moment, a mistake from which Grasso took advantage. I hope that this time Shevchenko will not make mistakes, but even if she does, she will have time to eliminate the flaws in time so that her opponent does not have time to take advantage of them.
I believe Valya will win and take her belt. I will support her a lot, because Shevchenko is an example for us, for all girls who do MMA, who go towards their goal. She is an indicator for all of us. At least for me. Maybe someone doesn’t like it, but I really like it,” Alekseeva said, as quoted by Metaratings.ru.
Shevchenko, 35, has 23 wins and four losses. Grasso, 30, has 16 wins and three losses in his career.
