UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko has looked unbeatable during her four-fight title reign, but the division is still full of challengers working toward their shot at the belt.
That list includes former title challenger Jessica Eye (15-7) and Cynthia Calvillo (8-1-1), who will meet in the main event of Saturday's UFC Fight Night inside the UFC's Apex facility in Las Vegas. Eye already came up short against Shevchenko in June 2019, but is still ranked just below her in the UFC's rankings. Calvillo is a former strawweight, making her 125-pound debut.
Shevchenko is expected to face Joanne Calderwood in her next title defense, but the dominant champ has repeatedly said she'd like to remain active -- and if she continues going through opponents with the ease she has thus far, she's always going to be in need of a "next in line.
