Henry Cejudo raised eyebrows last week when he challenged women’s flyweight champion<\/a> Valentina Shevchenko to an “inter-gender” bout. UFC welterweight contender Michael Chiesa is stepping it up a notch by calling for a Brock Lesnar vs Gabi Garcia matchup.<\/p>\n

Valentina Shevchenko successfully defended her flyweight title at UFC Uruguay when she went five rounds against Liz Carmouche. She beat Carmouche to a unanimous decision victory, avenging her loss from their first fight in 2010. After the fight, Cejudo took the limelight back by challenging Shevchenko to the first inter-gender fight.<\/p>\n

“The Bullet” accepted the challenge \u2014 though clearly in jest. The pair have gone\u00a0back and forth on social media<\/a>, however, the likelihood of the UFC agreeing to an inter-gender fight seems very low.<\/p>\n

Last night, the former Ultimate Fighter winner, Michael Chiesa also called the matchup unrealistic. Instead, he suggested another inter-gender match up that would be interesting to watch.<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s stop talking about Henry Cejudo vs Valentina Shevchenko, it\u2019s just not realistic at all. If there\u2019s going to be an intergender fight, it\u2019s going to be Brock Lesnar vs Gabi Garcia<\/p>\n
