10 Best Pound-For-Pound Fighters Currently In The UFC
7. Valentina Shevchenko
It takes a seriously special woman to rank higher than Valentina Shevchenko on this list - luckily we have just the one - and that should tell you all you need to know about just how lethal 'The Bullet' can be once locked inside of a cage.
Starting out as a Kickboxing and Muay Thai specialist - due to her years of amateur dominance in both disciplines - Shevchenko quickly realised she needed to up her game in order to be a success inside of the UFC.
A loss to Amanda Nunes (there's that special woman we were talking about) really hammered home this point early into her stint in the promotion and before long Shevchenko was forced to start really implementing her black belt Judo prowess.
This focus on physically dominating her rivals paid off and before long she had amassed a string of dominant submission, knockout and decision victories, alongside one insanely brutal head kick KO finish to Jessica Eye at UFC 238. Truly, Shevchenko can do it all and a quick glance at her diverse array of finishes highlights just that.
One blot on the current Flyweight champ's record still sticks out in the form of two losses to the previously noted Nunes. However, if she can conquer 'The Lioness' in the near future and establish herself as the all-round baddest woman in the company, Shevchenko may be on her way up these rankings sooner rather than later.
