UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko and Alexa Grasso are scheduled to fight on March 4 in Las Vegas, Nevada at UFC 285. The fight was first reported by ESPN Deportes.
Shevchenko (23-3) last fought at UFC 275 in a close split decision win over Taila Santos. Many people have labeled her last fight as the biggest test of her career with doubts that she was the true winner. Now, she is looking to add to her winning streak.
The 34-year-old first won the belt against Joanna J?drzejczyk in Dec. 2018 and has tallied seven defenses since then. Her championship run includes wins over Taila Santos, Lauren Murphy, Jéssica Andrade, Jenifer Maia, Katlyn Chookagian, Liz Carmouche, Jessica Eye, and Joanna J?drzejczyk. She also has the most consecutive wins in UFC Women’s Flyweight division history with nine.
Grasso (15-3) has scored four straight victories. She last earned a unanimous decision win over Viviane Araújo in the headliner of UFC Vegas 62 last October. She also has wins over Joanne Wood, Mayce Barber, and Ji Yeon Kim. The Mexico native is ranked #4 in the UFC Flyweight Division. It’ll be Grasso’s first shot at a UFC title when she faces Shevchenko.
UFC 285 will be headlined by the return of Jon Jones when he faces Ciryl Gane in a vacant heavyweight title fight. With no other title fights added, Shevchenko versus Grasso is expected to be the co-main event.

The Chinese-born UFC strawweight world champion Zhang Weili has called out the women’s flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko for a championship super fight showdown. In a recent interview with MMA Junkie’s Mike Bohn, the Kyrgyz fighter responded.
After capturing her strawweight throne by defeating Carla Esparza, ‘Magnum‘ Zhang Weili explained who she wants in her next bout. She told China Daily:
“There are so many great fighters in this division at the moment. I don’t have a particular name that I want to fight for now. I will wait for the call from UFC to decide which one is more appealing … [On Valentina Shevchenko] I think it would be a great fight (and) it’s one I’ve considered before. She is a very versatile fighter with a complete package. I hope it can be arranged whenever UFC sees fit.”
While speaking to Mike Bohn at the annual World MMA Awards, ‘Bullet’ Shevchenko responded:
“It’s one of the options of what can happen, definitely. I saw her recent fight. She’s gotten stronger, more tactical. But if the fight is gonna happen, that’s not gonna help her.” (H/T MMANews)
In this super fight showdown, Zhang Weili would likely be going up in weight to challenge for the flyweight crown against the long-reigning Shevchenko.
Aside from the Zhang match, Shevchenko has other super-fight options. She is 0-2 against the reigning two-division champion Amanda Nunes, but is interested in revenge. Regarding facing Nunes, Shevchenko said:
“Actually, always. There is interest always. And I [am] actually ready for that because it’s a fight that makes sense … Any super fight would be good.”
For challenger in her own strawweight division, the reigning champion Valentina Shevchenko said:
“I think the next challenger I would consider Alexa Grasso and [Manon] Fiorot. These are two challengers who are extremely good and ready for this title test. Any of them.”
The UFC women’s flyweight world champion Valentina Shevchenko concluded with:
“I’m ready.”
