Reigning UFC women's flyweight champion, Valentina Shevchenko, is expected to make her next title defense against Taila Santos at UFC 275 on June 11.
MMA Fighting's Damon Martin was the first to report the news of the matchup, although the promotion has yet to officially announce anything regarding the booking or event themselves. Shevchenko is currently riding an eight-fight winning streak that dates back to February 2018 and is coming off of a fourth-round TKO victory over Lauren Murphy at UFC 266. Santos on the other hand is on a four-fight winning streak of her own and will try to build on a first-round submission win over Joanne Wood back at UFC Vegas 43.
