UFC women's flying weight champion Valentina Shevchenko has a bone to choose with one former hunter.
Shevchenko, considered one of the greatest female hunters in the MMA history, is currently celebrating the continuation of her second rule as a queen at 125 pounds.
Shevchenko is back to the upper spot with a avenge victory over Alexa Grasso in De Bol, and returned to UFC 315 to defend her title.
Manon Fiorot had the task of cutting the shock of the Kyrgyzstan, but the French woman could not win on the jury's score cards on UFC 315.
But although Shevchenko lifted her hand at UFC 315 in Montreal, not everyone was impressed.

Valentina Shevchenko responds after Chael Sonnen continues his tirade
As is often the case after Shevchenko appears in the Octagon, Chael Sonnen quickly was his vision of the old dominant flight weight.
In a video that was uploaded to his YouTube channel entitled 'Chael has a problem with Valentina Shevchenko', the former UFC title Challenger claimed that the champion is not 'real' with the fans, is 'not a nice girl', and even a spy can be.
Shevchenko hit back during an appearance on the Ariel Helwani show and suggested that she would like to confront 'The Bad Guy'.
“I don't know what happens to Chael and what problem he has with me,” said Shevchenko. “I'm nice! I'm not a spy!
'Talk to me, you feel [I’m] A bad person? … all our conversation is online. I would like to meet him and ask him immediately, what his thinking is and what problem he has with me.
“Chael Sonnen, let's find out what problem you have with me.”
Chael Sonnen was also 'Last' from Valentina Shevchenko last year
Sonnen's apparent problems with Shevchenko and her approach as UFC champion go much deeper than just the recent UFC 315 pay-per-view.
In addition to rejecting the talk about 'bullet' with star power in the promotion, the American criticized the way in which she dealt with the interview after the fight on the atmosphere last year.
During his Good Guy/Bad Guy show with Daniel Cormier, Sonnen admitted that he was rubbed in the wrong direction by Shevchenko's failure to recognize Fiorot as next in line.
“I feel that it is clear that Fiorot is next. She was almost that night. And after the fight Valentina went in a different direction. She wanted to thank Hunter Campbell and Dana White unlike an opponent,” Sonen said.
“I felt for Fiorot. To get a permit, by going all the medical products, going through the training camp, the weight movement, and there is no opportunity, which means that there is no very large check to split with your team. At least you could have had a callout. … On a person, it bothered me.”
It is still to be seen whether Shevchenko and Sonnen can solve their differences. If not, the latter will probably have further critical videos in the room.
