Default Valentina Shevchenko

Time for Valentina to have her own thread, now that Juliana Pena's out of the title picture for a while. This is a good highlight vid to start off with. It covers much of her long career including her famous "dance outs" as opposed to walkouts and some highlights of the first fight with Amanda Nunes.

My prediction is that 2017 will be Shevchenko's year. I think she's going to win the 135 belt from Nunes and then absolutely blow many people's minds by gaining a ton of media attention as they discover all the interesting things about this woman.

For instance, during her long and varied fighting career, she's had the same coach all her life. She started at five. That must be a fascinating relationship. Her older sister is also a multiple-time kickboxing champ. Her mother is president of Kyrgyrstan's Muay Thai Assn, where Shevchenko was born and raised. She has competed in, and won, dance contests. The same can be said about shooting competitions and she is a gun enthusiast. She's at least a minor celebrity in her long-time home of Peru, appearing on many different kinds of TV shows from the serious to the silly, including their version of American Gladiators, as one of the Gladiators. She's musical and can play ukulele and guitar (that I know of, maybe other instruments too), she has a degree in film studies and plans to direct movies after fighting. She speaks at least three languages - Russian, Spanish and English and there may be others as well. Not to mention she was recently involved in an armed robbery during which her long-time coach, Pavel Fedetov, pursued the crooks and was shot in the leg.

And a glamour shoot for a Peruvian magazine. She seems pretty comfortable doing "sexy":

But I think she's more of a country gal, at heart. Makes a pretty sweet-looking cowgirl, too. Wonder if she rides, in addition to her many other talents. Wouldn't surprise me if she did:
