Valentina Shevchenko BreakDown UFC Fight Night 125 Champion HD

Shevchenko very easily could be the Bantamweight champion of the world right now, but the split-decision opposite Amanda Nunes did not go her way. On the bright side, the Russian athlete has long stated that she is better suited for 125 pounds, and this will be her chance to make the drop in UFC for the first time. Meanwhile, Cachoeira is a complete unknown to just about everyone, but she does have an inspiring back story to accompany her undefeated record. It’s hard to get a true read on her level of competition, but “Pedrita” has a chance to earn the biggest win of her career. Let’s take a look at the keys to victory for each woman: Valentina Shevchenko Record: 14-3 Key Wins: Holly Holm (UFC on FOX 20), Julianna Pena (UFC on FOX 23), Sarah Kaufman (UFC on FOX 17) Key Losses: Amanda Nunes (UFC 215, UFC 196) Keys to Victory: Shevchenko is quite possibly the most technical fighter in all of women’s MMA. A very sharp counter striker with decades of Muay Thai experience, Shevchenko is also a surprisingly strong clinch wrestler with sneaky submissions.
