Valentina Shevchenko is expected to make her next flyweight title defense against Taila Santos at UFC 275.
MMAFighting.com was first to report that both Shevchenko and Santos have agreed to the bout. UFC 275 takes place on June 11 and is headlined by a light heavyweight championship clash pitting Glover Teixeira against Jiri Prochazka but does not yet have an official location. According to the report, Singapore is a top candidate to host the event.
Currently No. 1 in Sherdog.com’s female pound-for-pound rankings, Shevchenko has won her last eight Octagon appearances, a streak that includes six successful title defenses.
