On Saturday, as a betting underdog in the co-main event of UFC 315 in Montreal, Shevchenko (25-4-1) only added to her growing legend by making the first defense of her second title reign at 125 pounds in a close and tense unanimous decision over red-hot French striker Manon Fiorot (12-2).

Fiorot was unbeaten in her UFC tenure before falling to Shevchenko at UFC 315. She defeated the likes of Erin Blanchfield, Rose Namajunas, and Katlyn Chookagian as she moved up into the UFC flyweight title picture.

MMA legend Valentina Shevchenko is regarded as one of the most well-rounded fighters of all time. The reigning UFC Women’s Flyweight Champion is all set to make her return to the Octagon. “Bullet” will defend her flyweight title against France’s Manon Fiorot.
