Valentina Shevchenko is one of the biggest names in women's MMA today. The 35-year-old has competed in 16 UFC fights and gotten her hand raised in 12 of them.

During her impressive UFC stint, Shevchenko has beaten the likes of Joanna Jędrzejczyk, Holly Holm, Julianna Pena, Jessica Eye, Katlyn Chookagian, Jessica Andrade, and Jennifer Maia. During her championship days, 'Bullet' successfully defended her flyweight throne a total of seven times.

But Shevchenko's recent UFC outings have not gone too well. Last month, the 35-year-old fought against Alexa Grasso in a rematch. The fight was a razor-close affair that ended in a split draw.

Prior to that, Shevchenko fought Grasso at UFC 285 and ended up losing the fight and her title via submission in the fourth round.

Valentina Shevchenko reacts to flags being allowed again in the UFC

UFC CEO Dana White recently revealed at a press conference that the UFC has decided the lift the ban on national flags. Now, athletes will be able to showcase their respective country's flags during walkouts and post-fight celebrations.

Speaking about the decision at the recent Dana White's Contender Series post-fight press conference, the UFC CEO said:

"Everybody's too soft, everybody's too sensitive about everything. When the decision was made to do this, I was kind of like, 'What's the big deal if they don't have flags?' Mexican Independence Day flipped the switch for me and I was like, 'That's enough, I'm done with the no flags.' If any flags hurt your feelings, too f*****g bad."
