The current UFC Women’s Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko recently took to her Instagram account and posted a picture wearing a bikini. As per her caption, the picture was taken in Alanya, Turkey.
Valentina Shevchenko opens up on ring girls
In one of his old interviews, the former UFC lightweight champion Khabib Nurmagomedov stated his personal view that the ring girls don’t have any function in the fight events. He was also against hiring ring girls for his own fight promotion the Eagle Fighting Championship. The comments had sparked controversy in the MMA world.
A former UFC middleweight fighter, Uriah Hall, also talked about ring girls. While chastising the UFC for the fighter’s pay, Hall stated that the company pays more to a ring girl than a fighter.
After Hall’s statement went viral, ‘The Bullet’ took to her official Twitter account to give her thoughts on the same. “When fighter retiring from fights, all they can think about is ring girl,” Shevchenko wrote and also tagged Hall in the tweet.
By saying retiring fighters, Kyrgyzstan might have also hinted at the previous Nurmagomedov’s comments on ring girls. Shevchenko was upset about Nurmagomedov’s ring girls’ remarks as well.
Alexa Grasso might have a title shot lined up against the reigning UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko. She doesn’t want to rush into the match but if the UFC comes calling with a contract to face Shevchenko next, Grasso won’t turn it down:
“I will do whatever [UFC matchmaker Mick] Maynard says,” Grasso said. “I trust him, he always puts good challenges on me. So whatever he says. But of course, I would like to have another main event.”
