The women's flyweight division is one of the newest in the UFC, and it's growing quickly. Two champions are currently in the division, Nicco Montano (Navajo) and Valentina Shevchenko (Valentina Shevchenko). Montano is of Navajo, Chickasaw, and Hispanic descent, and she developed a love for MMA at an early age.

Shevchenko's impeccable record in UFC

Valentina Shevchenko (UFC women's flyweight champ) is the current champion. She is currently 22-3 with six wins and just one loss. She is considered one of the world's best Muay Thai fighters, and has beaten four former UFC champions.

Calvillo is ready to take on higher-ranking enemies

Calvillo decided that she would fight better-ranked opponents after failing in her previous three fights. Calvillo started from the 56th%ile on DKFP. She defeated Jessica Andrade and Katlyn Clhookagian before falling to Nina Nunes 3 times in succession. Calvillo isn't ranked anymore but she has the potential of improving her MMA career.


Jedrzejczyk's title defence

Joanna Jedrzejczyk from Poland is a mixed martial artist. She has competed in the UFC for the last five years. Jedrzejczyk's career began in kickboxing. She lost three straight kickboxing fights to Valentina Shevchenko, a former UFC champion. This will be the first time she defends her title in UFC.

Calvillo's Career

UFC records are not good for Cynthia Calvillo. She's currently on an ugly three-fight losing streak in the UFC and another loss could be her end. She's 35 years old, and is one of the top flyweights in the UFC, but her career is not as rosy as her record suggests.
