Every UFC record Valentina Shevchenko holds, including the most knockouts and most title defenses

Valentina Shevchenko is one of the most dominant women in UFC history and she has all the records to prove it.

The Kyrgyzstan fighter has been almost unstoppable since debuting in the UFC in 2015. Valentina Shevchenko is a two-time UFC Women’s Flyweight champion, beating some big names like Alexa Grasso, Holly Holm and Jessica Andrade in the process.

With her upcoming title defence against Manon Foirot at UFC 315 looking to be her biggest fight yet, Shevchenko could extend some of her most impressive records by knocking out the French fighter in Canada.

She already holds numerous records in the UFC, both in her weight division and on the female side of the sport in general.

Valentina Shevchenko holds numerous records in the UFC Women’s Flyweight division

In the UFC Women’s Flyweight division, there has been nobody more dominant that Shevchenko, as her impressive collection of records

Nobody has more wins in the division that Shevchenko, as she boasts 10 wins so far in her career.

These include 9 consecutive wins, another record in the history of her weight class. As the UFC Flyweight Champion, she has managed more consecutive title defenses than any other woman in UFC Women’s Welterweight history.

She even overtook Ronda Rousey’s six Bantamweight title fights with her win over Taila Santos at UFC 275, but still trails Amanda Nunes record of 8 wins in a row.

Additionally, Shevchenko has more knockout victories than anybody else since the division was founded in 2017. Her four KO wins over Jessica Eye, Katlyn Cerminara, Jessica Andrade and Lauren Murphy in some of her most wildly entertaining fights so far.

However, two losses to Amanda Nunes and a loss and draw to Alexa Grasso have stopped Shevchenko taking the record for the most wins in UFC. The women with the most victories is Andrade, wo recorded 17 wins between 2013 and 2024.

Shevchenko can extend her records by beating Foirot at UFC 315

With a tough challenger coming up at UFC 315, Shevchenko has the opportunity to extend her records even further and cement herself into the history of the UFC.

The co-main event of the show sees the best pound-for-pound female fighter in the promotion taking on Fiorot in a huge title fight.

The UFC Women’s Flyweight champion recently lost and regained the belt in a trilogy of fights with Alexa Grasso, ending her streak of consecutive successful title defenses.

That was Shevchenko’s first loss in seven years and nobody in the division seems close to breaking her all-time record of most wins in the division.

Foirot as 7 wins in the UFC to her name, so is a long way away from matching Shevchenko’s record of 13. Beating the French fighter will take the wind out of her sales and cement the Kyrgyzstan as an all-time great in the UFC.
