Antonina Shevchenko Defends Title At Lion Fight 42
Sister to UFC standout Valentina Shevchenko, Antonina returns to defend her Lion Fight title Saturday, April 21, at Lion Fight 42.
The Shevchenko sisters ain't nothin' to fu*k with.
Valentina, the younger sibling, is a former UFC title challenger at bantamweight who's now on the brink of another shot at gold in the flyweight division.
Antonina, her older sister, is equally dangerous. The elder Shevchenko boasts a 3-0 record in MMA and is expected to compete on this summer's Contender Series as she makes her way toward the Octagon.

However, it's her work in the Muay Thai realm that has set her apart thus far.
With a 40-1 record, Antonina is downright vicious inside the ring, and she boasts multiple world titles, including the prestigious Lion Fight women's world lightweight strap.
This Saturday, she defends her crown live on FloCombat at Lion Fight 42, presented by Muay Thai Grand Prix.
Facing Claire Baxter in the night's main event, Shevchenko is ready to put on a show at the Fox Theater in Mashantucket, CT, and if her past fights are any indication, fans across the globe can expect plenty of ruckus.
Whether in MMA or in Muay Thai, Shevchenko has shown a polished, aggressive game that is virtually impossible to solve. Her relentless output and technical excellence has put opponents on their heels time and again, resulting in a stellar career that is perhaps only now heating up.
Will she add another scalp to the mantle at Lion Fight 42, or will Baxter pull off the upset and halt the Shevchenko train?
There's only one way to find out.
