Former UFC women's flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko reacted to middleweight division champion Sean Strickland, who called women's MMA "lame."
Strickland wrote on his social media:
"Paige Vanzant said she made more on only fans in 24 hours than she did in the UFC. Let's unpack..
1. You were signed because you're hot.
2. Women's mma is lame.
3. Men will pay more to see you naked than to watch you fight.
Stay in school kids, fighting sucks lol"
Valentina Shevchenko replied:
Interesting unpack here That looks more like an offended kid, who got less money in his entire fighter career than female fighters do! Good try, maybe UFC will see that and add some cash to your purse next time. But for now naked is you are.
Shevchenko last fought against Alexa Grasso this past September at UFC Fight Night 227. The fight lasted the whole distance and ended in a draw.
Shevchenko was unable to regain the championship belt lost in her first fight with Grasso. Valentina has 23 wins, four losses and one draw in mixed martial arts.
