UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko says she’s in no rush for a superfight against women’s strawweight champion Weili Zhang.<\/p>\n
Shevchenko takes on top contender Jessica Andrade in the co-main event of UFC 261, which takes place on April 24 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas, Nevada. On the same card, Zhang takes on Rose Namajunas in the main event.<\/p>\n
There has been plenty of speculation that the winners of both fights could meet for a potential superfight between two UFC women’s champions<\/a>, especially given that both title fights have been booked for the same card. In particular, a matchup between Shevchenko and Zhang is something UFC president Dana White has admitted he’s open to booking if both women keep winning their fights.<\/p>\n There is no doubt a Shevchenko vs. Zhang fight would be a great contest, but at least one-half of this dream fight is in no rush for it to happen.<\/p>\n Speaking to James Lynch of Fanatics View<\/a>, Shevchenko said that she is open to fighting Zhang, but she’s in no rush to do so anytime soon. In fact, Shevchenko thinks Namajunas is going to end any chatter about a Zhang superfight as “Bullet” is predicting that “Thug” takes out “Magnum” at UFC 261.<\/p>\n "I believe Rose is going to be the winner" <\/p>\n UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko is open to a future fight against strawweight champ Weili Zhang, but doesn't see her winning at #UFC261<\/a> on Apr. 24<\/p>\n Full interview https:\/\/t.co\/6JFz63KWuz<\/a> pic.twitter.com\/uqqSrdeHQE<\/a><\/p>\n — James Lynch (@LynchOnSports) March 12, 2021<\/a><\/p><\/blockquote>\n\n
