Cody Garbrandt turned his career around in a huge way at UFC 250. His highlight reel KO sent him soaring up the rankings and UFC President Dana White [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dana-white/] liked the fighter’s suggestion of booking him for a title fight in the UFC’s lowest weight class. Now, Garbrandt will attempt to become the UFC’s eighth champ-champ. However, he has suffered a minor setback that could impede his preparation for a few days. Recently it emerged [https://twitter.com/bjpenndotcom/status/1301625610322743296] that he tested positive for the Coronavirus that has infected over 26 million people globally [https://www.worldometers.info/coronavirus/]. Cody Garbrandt [https://www.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/Cody-Garbrandt-2.jpg] ‘No Love’ is following protocol and has isolated himself pending a negative test. Sparring will be off the cards for a while, even if Garbrandt is asymptomatic, and it is unclear whether he is continuing to train individually. However, given the timing of the diagnosis, the hope is that his flyweight debut won’t be derailed. The flyweight champion Deiveson Figueiredo [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/deiveson-figueiredo/] tested positive two months ahead of his Fight Island clash against Joseph Benavidez as well. He recovered, made weight, and stunned the world with an opening-round blitz to clinch the spoils of war. UFC 255 will take place on 21st November, which gives the former bantamweight champion sufficient time to recover and have a full training camp.

The UFC has booked short notice challengers for title fights in 2020 itself. Justin Gaethje is a prime example of the same.

This would cause the women’s flyweight bout featuring Valentina Shevchenko [https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/valentina-shevchenko/] and Jennifer Maia to become the UFC 255 main event. ‘No Love’ testing positive brings to light the dangers that athletes across sports face as they train for matches.

<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White: Net Worth 2024, Salary, Wife, and More</b></h2>
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Who is Dana White? </strong></h2>
Dana Frederick White Jr. is a name that every MMA fanatic knows. From running away from mobsters to running the biggest MMA promotion in the world, White has come a long way. An organization he and his friend Lorenzo Fertitta bought for $2 million, now stands at nearly $7-8 million.

He played an instrumental role in making the UFC the household brand it is today. He started his career as a bouncer and climbed the ladder to become one of the most successful businesspeople worldwide. His business acumen, shrewd tactics, and eye for opportunities eased UFC's path to establish itself as the biggest MMA promotion.

As of 2024, he works as the President of UFC, a position he has held since 2001.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's early lifeÂ </b></h2>
Born on July 28, 1969, White spent his early childhood in Ware, Massachusetts. The 53-year-old spent his youth switching bases between Las Vegas and Maine. White initially attended Bishop Gorman High School, where he first encountered Lorenzo Fertitta. However, he got kicked out twice and finally graduated from Hermon High School in Maine in 1987.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">

</figcaption></figure>
White dropped out of college twice and juggled various jobs, including laying asphalt, a bouncer at an Irish bar, and as a bellhop at the Boston Harbor Hotel.

Ever interested in combat sports, White picked up a pair of boxing gloves at 17 and initially dreamt of pursuing a professional career. However, he soon dropped the idea after witnessing a punch drunk boxer (someone suffering from Chronic traumatic encephalopathy, a disease linked to head trauma injury)Â and feared the same outcome for himself.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's parents</b></h2>
Dana White was born to June and Dana White Sr. and traces his roots as an Irish American. While much is not known about his father, he and his sister Kelly mostly grew up under the care of his mother and grandparents. His mother was a nurse by profession and their move to Vegas was in pursuit of a better livelihood.

In 2011, June released the unauthorized autobiography of the UFC lynchpin- 'Dana White, King of MMA'. She shockingly revealed that her sonÂ <em>"had turned his back on his family and friends who were there for home when he needed help and support".</em>

Similarly,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=46eMp_rWgjc" target="_blank" rel="noopener">in a 2011 interview,</a>Â she said,Â <em>"He's not a good person. He seems to have lost his character somewhere along the way. He mistreats people."</em>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's wife and children</b></h2>
UFC President is married to Anne, whom he met in eighth grade, and the duo tied the knot in 1996. The couple is blessed with three children, two sons- Dana III, Aidan, and one daughter Savannah.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>What is Dana White's net worth in 2024?</b></h2>
According to Celebrity Net Worth, Dana White has a net worth of $500 million. Further, he collects an estimated $20 million salary annually.

Apart from this, he also owns "Power Slap," alongside ventures inside the UFC like "Dana White's Contender Series." This surely helps him bank quite a sum, alongside his occasional big wins in gambling. For instance, he once won nearly $7 million in a single night at a Las Vegas Casino.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Is Dana White the owner of UFC?</strong></h2>
While running boxercise gyms, he met MMA fighters, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, and eventually took over as their manager. Moreover, he met Bob Meyrowitz and pounced on the opportunity when he learned Meyrowitz wanted to sell UFC. He sought the aid of Lorenzo Fertitta and ultimately he and his older brother Frank bought the UFC for $2 million. And the pair appointed White as the President.
<figure class="jsx-b9c5e7fc3c08d611">
<div class="jsx-2971178628 es-image-loader-aspect-ratio"><img id="img-tag-node--img-loader-0" class="jsx-2971178628" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/GettyImages-1128485707.jpg" /></div>
<figcaption>
<p id="node---34197-figcap">via Getty</p>

</figcaption></figure>
In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/wwe-news-unbelievable-wwes-high-profile-sale-to-ufcs-parent-company-made-jim-ross-scared-because-of-one-particular-reason/" target="_self" rel="noopener">announced a merger with WWE</a> to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million.

In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/conor-mcgregor/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Conor McGregor</a>-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a "<em>broken business</em>" in 2022.

Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation</strong></h2>
Over the last few years, Dana White's health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left.

He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White.

He would soon make <a href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/ufc-mma-news-why-did-dana-white-lose-so-much-weight-real-reason-behind-86-hour-water-fast-carried-out-by-the-ufc-ceo/">massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets</a>. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn't help but share it with the world.

<img class="size-medium wp-image-1914362 aligncenter" src="https://image-cdn.essentiallysports.com/wp-content/uploads/NINTCHDBPICT000765320323-380x315.jpg" alt="" width="380" height="315" />

Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world's biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements</strong></h2>
A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3>Power Slap</h3>
</li>
</ul>
White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.
<ul>
 	<li>
<h3><strong>Throw One</strong></h3>
</li>
</ul>
It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,-
<ul style="list-style-type: circle">
 	<li data-sourcepos="6:5-6:88"><strong>Power Slap:</strong> The controversial slap-fighting organization.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="7:5-7:53"><strong>Ridiculousness:</strong>Â A popular comedy clip show.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="8:5-8:75"><strong>Street League Skateboarding:</strong>Â A professional skateboarding league.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="9:5-9:62"><strong>Nitro Circus:</strong> A live-action stunt performance group.</li>
 	<li data-sourcepos="10:5-10:64"><strong>Travis Pastrana's NRX Rallycar:</strong>Â A rally racing series.</li>
</ul>
White's involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC.
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana White's awards and accomplishments</strong></h2>
<ul>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Armed Forces Foundation - Patriot Award (2009)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">World MMA Awards - Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Wrestling Observer Newsletter - Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16)</span></li>
 	<li><span style="font-weight: 400">Other accomplishments - Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009)</span></li>
</ul>
<h2 class="jsx-cb26a7af5694ead9" style="text-align: center"><b>Dana White's foundation and charity</b></h2>
The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ <a class="jsx-2b55705d932ea6e9" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/dustin-poirier/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Dustin Poirier</a>'s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai.

Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s house</strong></h2>
The UFC head's first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul <b>Frank Fertitta </b>for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion.

The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king.
<h2 style="text-align: center"><strong>Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection</strong></h2>
Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a 'rusted out Datsun B210.' Here are some of his prized possessions-
<ul>
 	<li>A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company</li>
 	<li>Ducati and a MV Agusta F4</li>
 	<li>A classic red Ferrari Testarossa</li>
 	<li>A black Ferrari Spider F430</li>
 	<li>1971 Plymouth Barracuda</li>
 	<li>BMW M6 Gran Coupe</li>
</ul>
Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6.

Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise.

For instance, he once won nearly $7 million in a single night at a Las Vegas Casino. Is Dana White the owner of UFC? While running boxercise gyms, he met MMA fighters, Tito Ortiz and Chuck Liddell, and eventually took over as their manager. Moreover, he met Bob Meyrowitz and pounced on the opportunity when he learned Meyrowitz wanted to sell UFC. He sought the aid of Lorenzo Fertitta and ultimately he and his older brother Frank bought the UFC for $2 million. And the pair appointed White as the President.  via Getty In 2019, White penned a lucrative 7-year contract with the promotion, elongating his stronghold. Markedly, in April 2023, Endeavor, the parent company of UFC,Â announced a merger with WWE to form a new $24 billion company. Additionally, White retained his position as the president of the UFC brand. White previously owned 9% of the UFC before he sold his stake to Endeavor for $340 million. In addition, White also worked as a co-promoter of theÂ Conor McGregor-Floyd Mayweather fight, thus making his debut in boxing scenes. However, soon he lost interest as he labeled boxing promotion as a &#8220;broken business&#8221; in 2022. Another brainchild of White, The Power Slap, debuted in January 2023, on which White worked as a producer. Dana Whiteâ€™s health: Weight loss, fasting &amp; transformation Over the last few years, Dana White&#8217;s health has undergone a massive transformation, and now he is seemingly in his best health. His life coach and founder of 10X Health System, Garry Brecka had even predicted that at the rate White was indulging in bad habits and ignoring his health, he might only have a decade left. He had previously been wrongly diagnosed with idiopathic depression, and the medications took a toll on him. Later, the mogul also suffered from dangerously high blood pressure, was overweight, and had a high triglyceride count, which allowed Brecka to reach his conclusion. And according to him, marking the life expectancy only validated the urgency for White. He would soon make massive strides in his lifestyle and share with the world his secrets. He followed a holistic plan with the help of Brecka that included the right diet, supplements, and exercise. His diet included high fat but low carbs, to induce ketosis, a method by which fat is broken down into ketones. It also included an 86-hour water-fast regimen that was so transformative that White couldn&#8217;t help but share it with the world. Now White continues to be healthier than ever and includes other innovative techniques such as ice baths to up his health game. After all, to be the president of the world&#8217;s biggest MMA promotion is no joke and only a healthy man can play the long haul. Dana Whiteâ€™s other businesses and endorsements A man of many talents, the man who made UFC the biggest MMA promotion in the world has numerous other ventures under his sleeve. Here are some enlisted-  Power Slap  White is the founder and promoter of Power Slap, an unconventional fighting organization that was launched in 2022. Since then, it has come under much controversy, with many deeming it a barbaric and exploitative sport. Nonetheless, White has stood stern on his belief that it has the potential to become a major combat sport and open new avenues for numerous fighters.  Throw One  It is a media company that was founded by the two original pillars of the UFC banner, Dana White and Lorenzo Fertitta. This venture operates as the parent company for numerous ventures, such as,- Power Slap: The controversial slap-fighting organization. Ridiculousness:Â A popular comedy clip show. Street League Skateboarding:Â A professional skateboarding league. Nitro Circus: A live-action stunt performance group. Travis Pastrana&#8217;s NRX Rallycar:Â A rally racing series. White&#8217;s involvement currently stands as the co-founder and co-owner of the above. Further, the UFC head honcho is committed to UFC and restricts himself from promoting anything apart from the UFC. Dana White&#8217;s awards and accomplishments Armed Forces Foundation &#8211; Patriot Award (2009) World MMA Awards &#8211; Leading Man of the Year (2008â€“23) Wrestling Observer Newsletter &#8211; Promoter of the Year (2005â€“13; 2015â€“16) Other accomplishments &#8211; Nevada Sportsman of the Year (2009) Dana White&#8217;s foundation and charity The UFC president also liberally utilizes his money for good causes. HeÂ has donated $100,000 toÂ Dustin Poirier&#8216;s charity. In addition, he once gave $50,000 for a liver transplant to the daughter of one of the instructors at Tiger Muay Thai. Also, he gave $100,000 to his former high school, and $1 million to the Las Vegas shooting victims. Dana Whiteâ€™s house The UFC head&#8217;s first notable house purchase was reported in 2006 when he bought a mansion in Pine Island Court, Las Vegas, from the American business mogul Frank Fertitta for $1.95 million. Thereafter he bought 3 more mansions in the same area from 2016 to 2017, which were later demolished, presumably to build his current mega mansion. The current mansion boasts nine bedrooms, 12 bathrooms, a gym, a massage room, a basketball court, an arcade, a bar, and a kitchen, all worthy of a king. Dana Whiteâ€™s car collection Complimenting his massive crib, and the luxurious office is his collection of vehicles that he has amassed over the years. But despite that, his first car was a &#8216;rusted out Datsun B210.&#8217; Here are some of his prized possessions- A Harley Davidson featuring the UFC logo, that was gifted by the company Ducati and a MV Agusta F4 A classic red Ferrari Testarossa A black Ferrari Spider F430 1971 Plymouth Barracuda BMW M6 Gran Coupe Apart from this, he has also gifted his beloved sons the gift of speed as their sweet sixteen gifts. His eldest son Aidan was bestowed with a customized Defender Works V8 70th Anniversary Edition, while Dana Jr. kept a BMW M6. Keeping up with his busy schedule, it is not surprising that he owns a private jet, an indulgent Bombardier jet to be precise. How to contact Dana White?

<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW"><b>Valentina Shevchenko Net Worth 2024, Height, Age, Partner, and More</b></h2>
<h2>Who is Valentina Shevchenko?</h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Valentina Shevchenko is a former UFC flyweight champion and one of the greatest women fighters to ever grace the Octagon. She started training in Taekwondo at the age of five and eventually transitioned to Muay Thai and Kickboxing.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Over the years, Valentina Shevchenko made her name as one of the most feared fighters in the UFC's female roster. Currently, she is the #1 ranked fighter in the UFC women's Flyweight Division. 'Bullet' also holds the #3 spot in the UFC women's pound-for-pound rankings.</p>

<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW">Valentina Shevchenko's Early Life</h2>
'Bullet' was born in Bishkek in the Soviet province of Kyrgyzstan on March 7, 1988. She began her martial arts journey at the tender age of 5, thanks to the influence of her elder sister Antonina, and her mother Elena. She started off with taekwondo at 5, and branched off into Muay Thai, and Kickboxing, and later into free-style Vale Tudo by the time she was 12.

She began her kickboxing career at age 12 by knocking out a 22-year-old opponent. Her former trainer Pavel Fedotov gave her the name 'Bullet' because of her speed in the ring.

The Shevchenko sisters lived in Sochi, Russia with their mother but their training took them to Thailand. They moved around Thailand, Korea, Italy, France, China, Greece, and the Netherlands competing at amateur and later at professional levels. A mugging incident eventually forced Valentina to pursue a living outside Russia and she chose Peru.

The former UFC champion had visited the country in 2007 after winning the World Muay Thai championship. She took to the country after visiting Peru with her sister and their coach Fedotov to teach kickboxing classes. <em>"Peru is a beautiful country that has it all ... beach, mountains and jungle. I love its people, landscapes, and cuisine,"</em> Shevchecnko once said. She would eventually get Peruvian citizenship as well.

Shevchenko had over 500 amateur fights in different combat styles. Â She was the World Muay Thai Federation champion in 2006, gold medalist at the IFMA championships in 2003, 2006, 2009, and 2011. She is also a two-time (2003 and 2006) World Pankration champion.Â  She defeated Alfia Ishirgakova of Russia in the semifinal and El Majydy Aicha of Morocco in the final at the IFMA World Muay Thai Championship in Tashkent, Uzbekistan in September 2011.

Her professional boxing debut was on May 8, 2010, against against Brazil's Halana Dos Santos. 'Bullet' won a unanimous decision after a gritty 10-round bout (96-94, 100-90, 100-90).

Besides teaching Muay Thai, Vale Tudo, and other martial arts competitions, Valentina also teaches Russian folk dancing, belly dancing and gypsy dances.Â Her favorite is the Iezginka dance from southern Russia which was used to prepare warriors for combat.
<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW"><b>Valentina Shevchenko's Partner</b></h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">There were a number of rumors in the UFC world that labeled 'Bullet's' longtime instructor, Pavel Fedotov as her partner. Fedotov met Shevchenko when she was just 12 years old. He has also been with her on her journey from Kyrgyzstan to Peru and then to the UFC. But there are no reports mentioning that the two are in a relationship.</p>
https://twitter.com/BulletValentina/status/961073010454269952
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Fedotov is more like a father figure to Shevchenko and her sister. However, the former champion recently raised eyebrows after being spotted with a big name 'date' at UFC 300!</p>
Arizona Cardinals' QB Kyler Murray shared a picture of him sitting next to Valentina. He captioned it, <em>â€œMy date is whooping any of yallâ€™s a**..ðŸ¥° #UFC300.â€Â </em>It is unclear if the two were actually on a date or if Murray was just joking around.

There were also rumors of Shevchenko being involved in an intimate capacity with current UFC champion Jon Jones. The pair reportedly shared accommodations for UFC 285, further raising eyebrows. The only sources of these rumors are Chael Sonnen and Andrew Schulz, both of whom conjectured that Shevchenko disrupted a romantic situation between Jon Jones and Holly Holm.

Fedotov is more like a father figure to Shevchenko and her sister, and there are no solid claims about any of the other rumored love interests. Presently, there are no reports about 'Bullet' currently being involved in any romantic relationship as well. She is currently single and doesn't have any kids.
<h2 class="dom-traversal_domH2Tag__dn8KW">Valentina Shevchenko's Net Worth 2024</h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Like every other UFC fighter, Shevchenko also earns her salary per fight. Her income might also change from one fight to another. Reports say that she comes under the $500,000 salary belt of the UFC and has also earned the same amount for her last two fights. Her second biggest payday stands at around $1,267,000 (inclusive of bonuses) which she earned in her first bout against Alexa Grasso at UFC 285.</p>
For UFC 261, Shevchenko was one of the three title fights that headlined the card. She received a staggering $1,192,000 (inclusive of bonuses) making it her highest UFC paycheck to date.

UFC 266, she earned $892,000 (inclusive of bonuses) and her total UFC 275 payout was around $472,000 dollars. She has an estimated net worth of over $5 million, according to multiple sources.
<h2>Valentina Shevchenko's Career Timeline</h2>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">After amassing an MMA record of 11-1, Shevchenko made it to the UFC. Although she won her first fight, 'Bullet' lost her next bout to 'The Lioness' <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/amanda-nunes/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Amanda Nunes</a>. To this date, Nunes is one of only three women (the other two being Liz Carmouche and Alexa Grasso) to beat the Kyrgyzstani.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Shevchenko racked up two back-to-back wins againstÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/holly-holm/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Holly Holm</a>Â and JuliannaÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://essentiallysports.com/tag/julianna-pena/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Pena</a>. After that, she fought Nunes once again for the bantamweight strap at UFC 215: Nunes vs. Shevchenko 2. Unfortunately, she lost via a controversial decision.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Nevertheless, the UFC introduced the women's flyweight division soon after. As a result, Shevchenko returned to her original weight class and submitted Priscila Cachoeira via a rear-naked choke. She then foughtÂ <a class="es-hyperlink-new" href="https://www.essentiallysports.com/tag/joanna-jedrzejczyk/" target="_self" rel="noopener">Joanna Jedrzejczyk</a>Â for the vacant flyweight belt at UFC 231. Like their previous three meetings in amateur Muay Thai, Shevchenko won the match and the belt.</p>

<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Since then, she has defended it seven times. Her last UFC Flyweight title defense came against Taila Santos on June 11, 2022, at UFC 275. Following this victory, Shevchenko endured a crushing defeat in her next bout. The noted Mexican Flyweight, Alexa Grasso, submitted her via a face crank in the fourth round of their UFC 285 fight.</p>
<p class="dom-traversal_domPTag__RMrin">Grasso also kept the UFC Flyweight gold from Shevchenko in their rematch that went down at UFC Noche (UFC Fight Night 227). At the coveted T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, on September 16, 2023, Grasso fought Shevchenko to a controversial draw. One of the three judges scored the final round 10-8 for Grasso, raising several eyebrows and evening out the tally. The other two scorecards were 47-48 and 48-47 apiece, meaning even a 10-9 score in favor of Grasso from the third judge would have also given Shevchenko her title back.</p>
Now, the pair are set to clash once more on the Mexican Independence Day event of the UFC - UFC 306, later rebranded Riyadh Season Noche UFC. The co-main event at the Las Vegas Sphere on September 14 will see Grasso and Shevchenko vie for the title for the third time in a row. The pair have laid foundation for their trilogy bout with a stint on The Ultimate Fighter 32.

Valentina Shevchenko

Valentina Shevchenko Net Worth 2024, Height, Age, Partner, and More Who is Valentina Shevchenko? Valentina Shevchenko is a former UFC flyweight champion and one of the greatest women fighters to ever grace the Octagon. She started training in Taekwondo at the age of five and eventually transitioned to Muay Thai and Kickboxing. Over the years, Valentina Shevchenko made her name as one of the most feared fighters in the UFC&#8217;s female roster. Currently, she is the #1 ranked fighter in the UFC women&#8217;s Flyweight Division. &#8216;Bullet&#8217; also holds the #3 spot in the UFC women&#8217;s pound-for-pound rankings. Valentina Shevchenko&#8217;s Early Life &#8216;Bullet&#8217; was born in Bishkek in the Soviet province of Kyrgyzstan on March 7, 1988. She began her martial arts journey at the tender age of 5, thanks to the influence of her elder sister Antonina, and her mother Elena. She started off with taekwondo at 5, and branched off into Muay Thai, and Kickboxing, and later into free-style Vale Tudo by the time she was 12.

Her former trainer Pavel Fedotov gave her the name &#8216;Bullet&#8217; because of her speed in the ring. The Shevchenko sisters lived in Sochi, Russia with their mother but their training took them to Thailand. They moved around Thailand, Korea, Italy, France, China, Greece, and the Netherlands competing at amateur and later at professional levels. A mugging incident eventually forced Valentina to pursue a living outside Russia and she chose Peru. The former UFC champion had visited the country in 2007 after winning the World Muay Thai championship.
