Namajunas eyes Shevchenko for flyweight title

    Rose Namajunas says a potential fight with Valentina Shevchenko for the UFC flyweight belt would be a career-defining and emotional moment.

    That opportunity reportedly hinges on Namajunas defeating Natalia Silva this Saturday on the UFC 324 main card in Las Vegas.

    The promotion has allegedly indicated a win would put her in position for the title shot and the chance to become only the second woman in UFC history to hold championships in two weight classes.

    Shevchenko remains the divisionโ€™s champion after recent successful defenses.

    Namajunas notes prior training ties with Shevchenko, which would complicate the matchup on a personal level.
