Valentina Shevchenko's custom dragon fight kit revealed before UFC 315

Valentina Shevchenko will attempt the first defense of her second UFC title reign in style.

Shevchenko is set to put her women's flyweight championship on the line Saturday against top contender Manon Fiorot in the UFC 315 co-main event from Bell Centre in Montreal. It'll be Shevchenko's first fight since she reclaimed the 125-pound title from Alexa Grasso to complete their trilogy.

When Shevchenko steps into the cage at UFC 315, she'll be sporting a custom Venum fight kit, which the UFC revealed Tuesday. It's primarily gold and green and features a bold dragon design with a gold bullet, inspired by her nickname, in the center of the chest and on the shorts.

Shevchenko, 37, was the UFC women's flyweight champion with seven consecutive title defenses between 2019 and 2023, when Grasso submitted her in stunning fashion at UFC 285. Six months later at Noche UFC, Shevchenko and Grasso fought to split draw, which was highly debated by fans and pundits alike. After serving as opposing coaches on "The Ultimate Fighter," Shevchenko and Grasso completed their trilogy last September at UFC 306 where "Bullet" reclaimed the title with a unanimous decision win.

Now Shevchenko will kick off her second title reign against Fiorot, 35, who hasn't lost since her professional debut in June 2018. Fiorot is on a 12-fight winning streak, including 7-0 in the UFC, with signature victories over Rose Namajunas and Erin Blanchfield.
