Shevchenko is gearing up for another major test in her next ocagon assignment. She is set to defend her flyweight title against Zhang Weili at UFC 322 on Nov. 15, 2025, in the co-main event under Jack Della Maddalena vs. Islam Makhachev.

After losing her belt to Alexa Grasso in 2023, she fought to a draw in their rematch before reclaiming the title in 2024. She then defended it against Manon Fiorot earlier this year.

Dan Hardy backs Dakota Ditcheva to beat Valentina Shevchenko

Dan Hardy believes Dakota Ditcheva has the tools to take on Valentina Shevchenko and potentially win the fight. The former UFC fighter-turned-analyst spoke about Ditcheva’s striking, aggression, size, and reach as key factors that make her a serious threat to the reigning flyweight champion.

Hardy argued that Ditcheva’s combination of power and ferocity could break through Shevchenko’s methodical, dominant style. Speaking in an interview with MMA Fighting, he said:

“I would put my money on her against Valentina right now. That’s with all due respect to Valentina, who I’ve held in high regard for a long time. The thing that Valentina always made challenging about my job when I was doing Inside the Octagon for the UFC, was there’s no highlight reel moments in her fights really. Very, very rarely and that’s because she completely dominates people with just this steady pace."
