It’s going to be a busy next couple of months for the UFC’s women’s champions.
Over the next nine weeks or so, all three champs – Rose Namajunas (strawweight), Valentina Shevchenko (flyweight) and Amanda Nunes (bantamweight and featherweight) are scheduled to put their titles on the line within 60 days of each other.
Namajunas (8-3 MMA, 6-2 UFC) takes on challenger Jessica Andrade (19-6 MMA, 10-4 UFC) next week in the UFC 237 main event in Rio de Janeiro. It will be her second attempted title defense after she beat former champ Joanna Jedrzejczyk in a rematch at UFC 223.
Shevchenko (16-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) puts her flyweight belt on the line for the first time when she meets Jessica Eye (14-6 MMA, 4-5 UFC) in the UFC 238 co-main event in Chicago on June 8.
And dual champion Nunes (17-4 MMA, 10-1 UFC) defends her bantamweight title against former champ Holly Holm (12-4 MMA, 5-3 UFC) in the UFC 239 co-feature in Las Vegas on July 6.
