Valentina Shevchenko calls for UFC to sign Rizin champion Rajabali Shaidullaev

Former UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko publicly urged the promotion to sign Rizin bantamweight champion Rajabali Shaidullaev. The 25-year-old Tajikistani fighter holds a perfect 19-0 professional record and currently reigns as Rizin's 66kg (bantamweight) champion. Shevchenko's endorsement carries significant weight given her status as one of the sport's most accomplished fighters. The post indicates support from the MMA community for bringing the undefeated prospect to the UFC. Shaidullaev represents one of the top talents competing outside major Western promotions.
