Valentina Shevchenko won the vacant UFC women’s flyweight title in December 2018. She has defended that title six times. The UFC has targeted the 34-year-old champ for a title defense against the No. 4 ranked Taila Santos at UFC 275. Santos, who is 28, is 19-1 overall and 4-1 in the UFC with victories in her past four outings. She earned her title shot with a November submission win over Joanne Wood. If Shevchenko defeats Santos for her seventh title defense, there are several up-and-coming fighters who look like they could become future title challengers.
