Valentina Shevchenko gives thoughts on possible return to bantamweight division

UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko has given her thoughts on possibly moving back up to bantamweight following a challenge from Kayla Harrison.

Later this month, Valentina Shevchenko will defend her UFC women’s flyweight championship against Zhang Weili, who is moving up from strawweight in pursuit of a second world title. While this is a blockbuster superfight in its own right, there are rumblings that there could be something else on the horizon for Valentina if she so chooses.

As we know, Kayla Harrison is the current women’s bantamweight champion, and she has her sights set on a blockbuster superfight against Amanda Nunes.
