UFC 255 will be more special than other cards for women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko.
Shevchenko is set to return to action on November 21 when she defends her title against Jennifer Maia in the co-main event of the card.
Her sister Antonina will also be competing on the card when she meets Ariane Lipski in women’s flyweight action. That would make it the first time in UFC history that two siblings will be competing on the same card — making UFC 255 a very special occasion for Shevchenko.
“This card is more special than others because for the first time in the history of the UFC, two sisters are going to fight on the same card,” Shevchenko said on the Hablemos MMA podcast. “But it’s not only sisters but also brothers.
“Yes, there has been in the UFC brothers that fight in different weight classes and different events, but on the same event, and same (weight class) there hasn’t been. This would be the first time.”
Of course, the Shevchenko sisters have competed on the same card multiple times before, but that was back in the day during their Muay Thai careers.
And competing on the same card for the first time in the UFC will allow not only for them to rest together, but also their head coach Pavel Fedotov.
“We always do the training camps together anyway, and we train together, helping each other out,” Shevchenko added. “Now having this opportunity to fight on the same event, we’re also going to have the same opportunity to rest together.
“And most importantly, our trainer, master Pavel Fedotov, he’s going to get more of a break because he’s always training Antonina. She fights, and then he has to prepare me, and then I fight and back to Antonina, so yeah. We always have a rest, but he’s always working non stop, so this will be better for him too.”
Shevchenko last competed at UFC 247 in February when she TKO’d Katlyn Chookagian. She will be looking for her fourth title defense against Maia.

UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko wants to complete her trilogy of fights with dual Amanda Nunes. Shevchenko and Nunes have fought twice before at bantamweight.

UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko wants to complete her trilogy of fights with dual Amanda Nunes.
Shevchenko and Nunes have fought twice before at bantamweight. In 2016 at UFC 196 the Ukrainian fell to a unanimous decision defeat. A year later she was again on the wrong side of the judges call at UFC 215, suffering a split decision loss – one she does not agree with.
Speaking in Spanish on Monday’s episode of Hablemos MMA ‘Bullet’ explained that a third fight with Nunes is “logical”.
“I think it would be logical,” Shevchenko said. “She’s been going through her opponents very easily, and I think that for the future, it would be logical to have a third fight because the second fight … I didn’t lose it. I won it.”
Shevchenko’s confident things would be different in a trilogy bout and she’d finally beat ‘The Lioness’.
“This fight right now, as champion vs. champion, I think the judges will have a different outlook towards the fight,” Shevchenko said. “Three years ago in 2017 when we had our fight, they thought that just that one thing gave her the victory, and that was the takedown she got in the fifth round. She didn’t even start it – it was me who initiated. But since it was the final round, we were both slippery. She’s heavier, so I ended on bottom when I was supposed to land on top.
“That’s the only thing that gave her a small advantage in the eyes of the judges that night. But that’s how it went down, and I think it would be very logical to have that third fight between us.”
Shevchenko is trying to prevent herself from looking too far ahead with a flyweight title defence against Jennifer Maia booked in for November 21 at UFC 255.
“To be honest, I don’t know (when I’d like to fight Nunes) and I haven’t thought about it because right now I’m focused on my weight class – 125 pounds,” Shevchenko said. “All I have in mind these days is being dominant and retain my belt again and again, and that’s what I think of when I put thought in my near future. I think if this fight goes down in the future, I would definitely like to have the fans around me and the public back and not in an empty arena.” (Transcribed by MMA Junkie)
