'Don't get too comfortable': Dana White, Valentina Shevchenko react to Natália Silva's UFC 332 title win
Natalia Silva may be the new UFC women's flyweight champion, but her legendary predecessor already has her sights set on getting the belt back.
Valentina Shevchenko, the reigning UFC women's flyweight champion, expressed her delight at Natália Silva's victory over Wang Cong at UFC 332, declaring it well deserved for the new champion. However, Shevchenko cautioned Silva not to become too comfortable, hinting that she intends to reclaim the title in the near future. The two fighters, both pound-for-pound greats in the division, have faced each other 13 times, with Shevchenko currently ranked No. 1 in the world.
Shevchenko's injury forced her to vacate the belt in September, allowing Silva and Wang to contest for the vacant title. UFC CEO Dana White expects Silva to remain active in the division while Shevchenko recovers, emphasizing the need to keep the championship belt moving.
