This isn't the first time Valentina Shevchenko has spoken about the importance of ring girls in the sport of MMA. 'Bullet' was among the first to speak out against Khabib Nurmagomedov's opinion of their place in the sport.

'The Eagle' has been in the headlines ever since he publicly spoke about his thoughts on the girls. The former lightweight champion received blacklash from a significant number of MMA fans and fighters for his controversial remarks.

The Dagestani revealed that he would not be having ring girls in his own MMA promotion, the Eagle Fighting Championship. Nurmagomedov further went on to suggest that they're the most unnecessary people in the entirety of MMA.
