5 Fights To Make After UFC 247

2. Valentina Shevchenko Vs. Joanne Calderwood

It feels like anyone who faces current UFC women's flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko, right now is on the way to their execution, such is the dominance of Bullet. Although it might seem like she's completely wiped out her weight class, the 31-year old believes there are still some challenges waiting for her at 125lb.

The next option that we can see is Scottish striker, Joanne Calderwood. Calderwood's UFC career has lacked the consistency needed to earn a shot at the belt before, but a solid win over Ariane Lipski at UFC 242 puts her directly in the firing line of Bullet.

Whether or not the 33-year old can be the first woman at flyweight to actually be competitive against Shevchenko, let alone win the fight, remains to be seen. However, if she manages to roll through this opponent with the same level of ease, it might be time for her to make the move back up to women's bantamweight and take on Amanda Nunes for a third time inside the Octagon.
