Shevchenko is one heck of a fighter. Seems like the Peruvian Kyrgyzstani was born to fight as she took to Taekwondo at the age of 5. The 30-year-old currently holds black belts in Judo and Taekwondo and the Master of Sports rank in Boxing, Muay Thai, and Boxing.

Now that's a wholesome resume!

The Bullet has only three losses in her MMA career with one of them being a controversial split decision loss to one of the names who ranks higher up on his list. Shevchenko is a proper mixed martial artist who possibly has the most-well rounded striking game in all of UFC.

Her win against Joanna Jędrzejczyk cemented her place as one of the best in the UFC and the promising proposition is that the 30-year-old is just getting started.
