Valentina Shevchenko calls for UFC to sign Rizin champion Rajabali Shaidullaev

The 25-year-old fighter from Rizin holds an undefeated 19-0 professional record and competes at 66 kilograms (approximately 145 pounds). Shevchenko's endorsement suggests she sees potential in the young champion to succeed at the UFC level. The post expresses support for Shevchenko's call to bring Shaidullaev to the UFC. No indication has been given whether the UFC is actively pursuing Shaidullaev or if negotiations are underway.
