Should both of them win, Andrade says that is the fight to make.<\/p>\n<p id=\"w0F25l\">\u201cThat\u2019s a fight I would really like to have,\u201d Jessica Andrade said<a href=\"http:\/\/portaldovaletudo.uol.com.br\/jessica-andrade-garante-foco-em-weili-zhang-mas-revela-desejo-de-superluta-contra-valentina-shevchenko\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\"> to Portal de Vale Tudo<\/a> (as translated by <a href=\"https:\/\/translate.google.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\">Google Translate<\/a>). \u201cI believe that, if I win my next fight, which is my most important fight at the moment, who knows, I might ask for this Shevchenko fight. She\u2019s the best at flyweight, so it would be a cool test for me. I really like her, I always hug her, greet her and talk to her everywhere we meet,\u201d she continued. \u201cShe\u2019s really nice, but I want to test myself, too. I want to see what level I\u2019m at. If I have really improved. If I defend my title now, I do want to ask for the chance to fight Valentina and become a champion in two different weight classes.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Although Jessica Andrade is fighting at strawweight, <a href=\"http:\/\/staging.tcpcharms.com\/bjpenn\/mma-news\/claudia-gadelha\/claudia-gadelha-says-its-unfair-for-jessica-andrade-to-fight-at-strawweight\/\">the size may not be a factor<\/a> in a potential fight against Valentina Shevchenko. The Brazilian fought at bantamweight like Shevchenko early on in her MMA and UFC career, before making the move to 115-pounds.<\/p>\n<p>It would no doubt be an interesting fight, especially given the fact that there aren&#8217;t a ton of challengers for the belt at flyweight.<\/p>\n<p>If Jessica Andrade and Valentina Shevchenko were to fight at flyweight, who would you pick to win?
