Shevchenko's debut in flyweights scheduled for February 3

Former UFC contender Valentina Shevchenko is sent to the enemy's territory for the debut match in 125 pounds. 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.
