Valentina Shevchenko could be granted an opportunity to become a dual-champion if victorious at UFC 322, but is she interested?

Flyweight champion Shevchenko (25-4-1 MMA, 14-3-1 UFC) welcomes Zhang Weili (26-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) to 125 pounds in the Nov. 15 co-main event at Madison Square Garden.

“The Bullet” was recently called out by UFC bantamweight champion Kayla Harrison (19-1 MMA, 3-0 UFC), who intends on fighting Amanda Nunes early next year, then securing a spot at the June White House event.

“I heard she brought some other names as well,” Stake ambassador Shevchenko told MMA Junkie of Harrison. “She called Amanda, right? She called Ronda (Rousey), and from all three names, it’s only one name that’s still an active fighter. The other ones are like eight years retired, four years retired. Kayla is a very good fighter, very good athlete, very physically strong, and definitely it’s going to be a great fight – but I’m not looking past my fight.”

Shevchenko competed at bantamweight for the first two years of her UFC career. She suffered two losses to Nunes, with their rematch at UFC 215 being razor-close. The second loss to Nunes prompted her move up to flyweight, but with both dominating their respective divisions, talks of a super fight continued to emerge – until Nunes retired.

“For a long time, (Nunes) was the only reason why I would return to 135,” Shevchenko said. “It was just one name, unfinished business what I had with Amanda. When she retired, I lost interest for that, and now, let’s see. The rumor is that she’s un-retired, but let’s see if it’s a reality.”
