MMA analyst Chael Sonnen has given his thoughts on how Valentina Shevchenko can become more popular with mixed martial arts fans.
As we know, Valentina Shevchenko is one of the greatest female mixed martial artists of all time. She further cemented that legacy at UFC 315 last weekend when she successfully defended her flyweight championship against Manon Fiorot. At this point, the only names that can really be put alongside her are Amanda Nunes and Cris Cyborg.
However, she hasn’t really become a household name. That isn’t necessarily the fault of Valentina Shevchenko, and some would argue it’s due to the UFC not promoting her properly.
