On November 16 in New York at UFC 322, the Kyrgyzstani athlete faced Weili Zhang, the former champion of the UFC's minimum division and the current second in the world PFP rankings from China.
After the fight, Shevchenko gave an interview to Joe Rogan, in which she discussed her plans for returning to the octagon.
“First of all, I need to address a few injuries that have been with me throughout my career. I can't say exactly when I will return. But I am still here and continue to fight,” Valentina noted after the match.
