Two-time UFC women's flyweight champion and no.1 pound-for-pound female fighter in the world Valentina Shevchenko is getting some well-deserved R&R at the moment. If take a glance at the first few dozen pictures on the champion's Instagram page, you'd mistake her for a jet-setting influencer with all the beautiful beach photos.
In a recent Instagram post, 'Bullet' shared her recent stay in the pristine waters of Nuku Hiva, Marquesas, French Polynesia. Needless to say, she was in literal paradise on Earth.

Valentina Shevchenko claps back at Manon Fiorot after the latter's call-out: "ill-mannered first-grader"
While the champion Valentina Shevchenko is on vacation, her division's hungry contenders couldn't wait to get their hands on her. Case in point, no. 2-ranked French rising star Manon Fiorot.
MMA Fighting reposted a tweet Fiorot composed to call out the champion - plus some choice words:
"@BulletValentina stop making people wait! Let's do it soon enough so I can send you to retirement and move on"
Taking a break from sunbathing and swimming in clear waters, Shevchenko replied to the tweet with a new stipulation and some pointed remarks:
"You lose - you retire 👊 Deal ?!! ill-mannered first-grader"
This budding drama apes WWE-style pro wrestling call-outs and stipulations. Even if Fiorot agrees to this peculiar stipulation, we doubt she'd come through if she loses. 'The Beast' is only 34 years old and still has a lot of steam in her engine. Regardless, this back-and-forth between the champion and the top-ranked contender will generate traction and interest if and when it gets signed.
