UFC star Valentina Shevchenko one of the top MMA fighters on the planet thinks the judges got it wrong and Joanna Jedrzejczyk should have gotten the decision over Weili Zhang.

"I don't believe [the judges got it right]," Shevchenko told claiming Joanna landed "more clear strikes" than her opponent. In fact, even though Valentina is very respectful about Weili, it's pretty clear she wasn't super impressed with Zhang's performance. When asked if she would be interested in dropping down a weight class to fight Zhang, Shevchenko doesn't think Weili wants the smoke.

VS says if Weili struggled to beat Joanna, she'd get destroyed by Shevchenko, who beat up Joanna pretty decisively when they fought in 2018.

"She's a good fighter," Valentina says "but it's not enough for the high league competition."

As for Valentina, she's currently on a 5-fight win streak with victories over legit fighters like Katlyn Chookagian, Jessica Eye and Joanna.

Valentina's only losses in the UFC have come from Amanda Nunes, who's widely regarded as the greatest female fighter of all time.

Shevchenko fights again in June her opponent is Joanne Calderwood.
