Valentina Shevchenko has recently expressed interest in moving up to bantamweight and attempting to win a second title. UFC president Dana White was recently asked for his opinion on the subject.

Dana White has been open to putting on fun fights and Valentina Shevchenko moving up for a rematch counts as a fun fight. The UFC president would be interested in making something happen in the future.

“I respect her so much, whatever she wants to do, I’m down,” UFC president Dana White told The Underground ahead of UFC 275.

“She can keep defending the title. She can fight Julianna [Peña], she can fight Amanda [Nunes]. Whatever she wants to do, if she wants it bad enough, I’ll try to make it happen.”

Valentina Shevchenko is starting to go down as one of the most dominant UFC champions of all time. Dana White has been a big fan of her run but got real whilst talking about the Taila Santos fight.

“That’s the problem with this fight — Santos is 19-1 and she’s a very dangerous opponent for Shevchenko, but a lot of people don’t realize it,” White said. “This should be a very, very [tough fight], a much tougher fight than people would think. If Valentina Shevchenko can run through her like she has everybody else, holy shit.

“What Valentina has accomplished, what Anderson [Silva] did during his reign, the list goes on and on — and that’s exactly what happens, people say the division is weak,” White continued. “No, Valentina Shevchenko is so good, she makes the division look weak.”
