Our prediction for the fight is that Reyes doesn’t make it out of the third round.

The real intrigue in this match up on February 8, 2020, is in the background of both fighters. When Shevchenko burst onto my radar during her 2015 UFC debut en route to a split-decision victory of UFC veteran Sarah Kaufman, Shevchenko brought the whole package: she was pretty and she could fight. The UFC loves this combination in any division.
