Today, it was officially announced that the fight of Shevchenko of Kyrgyzstan against the undefeated Brazilian Priscilla Cachoeira will happen at the tournament in Belem, Brazil, on February 3.

Shevchenko (14-3) had five fights and got three wins in UFC. In January the Peruvian sportswoman defeated Julianne Peña and won the title fight against the champion Amanda Nunez. On September 9 Valentina failed to win the title, losing a split decision in a very close match.

Cachoeira (8-0) was due to make her debut at the largest MMA organization on December 1 at the TUF 26 Finale, but visa problems prevented her from holding a fight with Lauren Murphy.
