Valentina Shevchenko breaks another record after cementing her second title reign at UFC 315

Valentina Shevchenko continued to prove that she was far from being successful by successfully defending her flying weight in the Co-Main event on 10 May.

The entire conversation after the conclusion of UFC 315 was around the main event where Jack della Maddalena Belal Muhammad defeated with the result that has large implications for Islam Makhachev.

Although 'Bullet' continued to add to her stellar legacy with another title defense, it is in the least not surprising to see her dominate on 125 pounds, even if she was the underdog that was on her way.

She defeated Manon Fiorot through a unanimous decision with a potential superfight between Shevchenko and Zhang Weili, who was now on the cards.

Shevchenko already held a whole list of praises before he grabbed another defense of her second flight weight.

Valentina Shevchenko becomes the oldest hunter to defend a UFC title under middleweight

The lifespan of Valentina Shevchenko at the highest level in the UFC in the UFC has debuted is remarkable and it doesn't seem like she slows down.

Some thought that her shock loss for Alexa Grasso at UFC 285 could only indicate a change in the guard to end their trilogy with 'bullet' who recover the belt on dominant fashion on UFC 306.

This lifespan has only seen her become the sixth hunter in the UFC history to win ten UFC title fights and to become a member of Jon Jones, Georges St-Pierre and her former opponent, Amanda Nunes.

That is not the only distinction that Shevchenko picked up after handing Manon Fiorot's first defeat in the Octagon.

At the age of 37, the flight weight champion is now the oldest hunter, male or female, to successfully defend a title under the middleweight division.

Anderson Silva, who also has double digits in title fights, defended his middleweight title on 37 when he stopped Chael Sonnen in their UFC 148 Rematch.

Alexander Volkanovski, who recovered the featherweight title last month, was able to bind the record of Shevchenko this year, because he turned 37 in September.

Zhang Weili must be the next for Valentina Shevchenko

Valentina Shevchenko wants fans to vote for her next opponent by giving them the option of stromal weight champion Zhang Weili or flight weight candidate Natalia Silva, who defeated Alexa Grasso on UFC 315.

Although Silva is a legitimate competition, with Zhang Virna Jandiroba with 115 pounds, this is definitely the right moment for this matchup.

They are the top two ladies pound-for-pound hunters in the UFC and their dominance about their respective departments justifies more than a super fight.

If there is one thing that Shevchenko keeps in the conversation again as the greatest of all time, it is that she was beaten twice by Amanda Nunes.

The beating of Zhang would finally give her that super fight victory that her career was missed.
