Antonina Shevchenko made her UFC debut in the TUF 28 final in Las Vegas, facing Ji Yeong Kim, 11th flyweight. Shevchenko, the older sister of flyweight candidate Valentina Shevchenko, won her UFC contract in Dana White's Tuesday Night Contenders series in June. Like her younger sister, Antonina brings the experience of a prolific kickboxing and a Muay Thai career in the Octagon.
Although she is participating in this promotion for the first time in the Octagon, Shevchenko is staying the course of her debut.
"It's the same as usual," she said. "I know it's a very important fight, but every fight is important. Every fight I had in my career for more than 20 years was very important.
"When you win your first world championship, it's very important. When defending your world champion title, it's very important. You feel it and that's why you train very hard. If you do not feel it, you train a bit more slowly, so you can not feel that it is not important or that the fight will be easy. "
