Her title defense against Santos also broke Ronda Rousey\u2019s long-standing record of title defenses in the promotion.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">However, despite all the records set and broken, there was a lot of controversy around her win. Many fans as well as pundits believed that Shevchenko did not do enough to win the fight. This opinion was also shared by UFC bantamweight Sean O\u2019Malley.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In a recent interview, he said, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI thought Santos beat Valentina last night. Dude, she took her back, was holding her mouth shut for like, three different times. Valentina didn\u2019t land anything that was that crazy besides that headbutt. Valentina lost that fight. Santos is champ.\u201d<\/span><\/i><br \/>\n<iframe title=\"YouTube video player\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/CLDDY8EKS7U\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u2018Sugar\u2019 continued, <\/span><i><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cI didn\u2019t think she landed anything; that headbutt really f**ked up. You can\u2019t count that. You can\u2019t be like, \u2018Okay, that\u2019s a strike.\u2019\u201d<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The crucial moment in the fight was the accidental clash of heads, which completely shut Santos\u2019 right eye. Despite a severely compromised eye, Santos was able to inflict significant damage and win rounds on the judges&#8217; scorecards as well.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<p><strong>Read More:-<\/strong> <a href=\"https:\/\/yebscore.com\/news\/anthony-smith-bashes-jiri-prochazkas-war-against-glover-teixeira-at-ufc-275-worst-performances-of-their-life\/\">Anthony Smith Bashes Jiri Prochazka\u2019s War Against Glover Teixeira at UFC 275: \u2018Worst Performances of Their Life\u2019<\/a><\/p>\n<h2><strong>What is next for Valentina Shevchenko?<\/strong><\/h2>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Although her win against Santos was not as clinical as most of her other title defenses, \u2018Bullet\u2019 proved that she is still in a league of her own which leads to the next and most important question; who is next for Valentina Shevchenko?<\/span><\/p>\n<p><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-392367 size-full\" src=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/image02-1.jpg\" alt=\"Valentina Shevchenko\" width=\"1200\" height=\"800\" srcset=\"https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/image02-1.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/image02-1-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/image02-1-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/yebscore-cms.s3.us-east-2.amazonaws.com\/2022\/06\/image02-1-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1200px) 100vw, 1200px\" \/><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">The only logical matchup here will be for her to move up and challenge for the bantamweight strap once again.

However, if Nunes wins, it will set up a third fight between the two women.
