South China Morning Post<\/a>, Calvillo said that she doesn’t believe Murphy has what it takes to beat Shevchenko, but she is confident that she does.<\/p>\n\u201cI just don\u2019t see Lauren winning that fight. It\u2019s just a different level. I think it\u2019s really hard to see Valentina lose against anybody. I don\u2019t think they\u2019re really giving any of us a shot. The most important thing is we believe and we keep winning these fights,” Calvillo said.<\/p>\n
\u201cI believe I can beat Valentina for sure, 100 percent. I really truly believe it. And I\u2019m sure Lauren believes the same thing too. But for me from the outside perspective, I don\u2019t see that for her.\u201d<\/p>\n
Calvillo is coming off of a decision loss to top contender Katlyn Chookagian in her last fight, but if she can go out there and beat Andrade, she could be next in line for the title shot since she would be a fresh contender. We will see what happens at UFC 266 in September, but if you ask Calvillo, it will be her and Shevchenko emerging victorious that night.<\/p>\n
