Valentina Shevchenko calls for UFC to sign Rizin champ Rajabali Shaidullaev

Former UFC flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko is advocating for the UFC to sign Rizin bantamweight champion Rajabali Shaidullaev. The 25-year-old fighter is undefeated with a 19-0 record and competes at 66 kilograms (approximately 145 pounds). Shevchenko's endorsement could carry significant weight given her standing in the sport and knowledge of elite-level competition. The post expressed support for bringing the young prospect to the UFC, though no official talks or interest from the promotion have been reported.
