Valentina Shevchenko isn’t letting go of the women’s flyweight belt.

Shevchenko retained her title with a unanimous decision victory over challenger Manon Fiorot at UFC 315 presented by Skilled Trades College in Montreal Saturday night.

Shevechenko, 37, is the first two-time women’s flyweight champion in the UFC. She originally took the title in 2018 and she held it until a loss to Alexa Grasso in 2023. She reclaimed the title in 2024 in a rematch with Grasso and has now defended the title for an eighth time.
