Former UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko is not someone to take lightly. The WMMA staple means business and is out to regain her gold. Her gun affliction and proficiency downrange is already a famous matter. So is the matter of her going viral for a plethora of other reasons. ‘Bullet’ Valentina reaches near perfection at whatever she sets out to do. Now, she adds perfect lean-back leg counters to that.
205-pound king Alex Pereira is infamous for his kicks and his backend “Rabona” counter. Many a time, even other fighters go viral in contrast to his battle acumen and stylistic similarities. Shevchenko might not boast the Pataxó power. However, viral footage on social media shows her checking a swarm of low-clearance kicks and answering back at tremendous speeds against a male opponent. She leans back and answers with kicks of her own.
Valentina Shevchenko goes viral for a lot of things. Going downrange at Florida with a fractured hand during her Noche UFC rematch would be one. Touting a bikini body with stout musculature would be another. Somehow, her answering back-kicks at tremendous speeds were on nobody’s bingo cards or wishlists. However, the matter does encourage fans nonetheless.
Currently at 23-4-1 MMA, & 12-3-1 UFC, she now coaches TUF: Season 32 against Alexa Grasso. While initially reluctant, she has warmed up to the idea and is prepping hard to improve her fighters. Instead of guest fighters, she is deploying full-time coaches, the best in the world. The personal significance of the boost to her morals is that once the season airs, she faces Grasso in a trilogy fight for her gold. Hence, the footage, old or new, has gone immensely viral.
Whether in lighthearted pro-MMA training or official sparring with a Kyrgyzstan stablemate, Valentina Shevchenko never fails to hype up. The former UFC flyweight titleholder is on a quest to reclaim her title from Alexa Grasso. In time, she will have the chance. Recently, she has gone viral for her leg kick sequence with a male fighter.

Those select few have alluded to the fact that a million other soccer players do this every day. Concurrently, some jibed that she wouldn’t have lost in her efforts against Grasso if she were so brilliant. On a generic note, most fans have gotten excited about the matter. Some have nudged yet another title run, while most others unanimously await her return.
