#4. ONE Championship atomweight champ and strawweight contender Angela 'Unstoppable' Lee
ONE Championship atomweight champion and former strawweight contender Angela 'Unstoppable' Lee is often considered the best female fighter outside the UFC. Lee has been true to her nickname in her campaign to dominate her throne. No 115-pound female fighter has been able to figure out how to stop Lee's relentless grappling barrage.
Though Lee's foray into 125 lbs has been unsuccessful, there's still time for the star to properly get used to the weight division. The American-Canadian's fights with striker Xiong Jing Nan at 125 pounds were as razor close as any fight could get. A grappling savant, Lee's penchant for wild scrambles and sneaky submission attacks was problematic for the heavier Xiong.
If ever Shevchenko fights Lee, it's in the UFC champion's best interest to avoid the ground. Lee has an often chaotic Brazilian jiu-jitsu game where it's hard to get a read of her next move. The highly calculated Shevchenko might have a hard time as Lee loves catching her opponents with submissions during transitions.
#3. ONE Championship atomweight wrestling machine Ritu 'The Indian Tigress' Phogat
Speaking of grapplers, ONE Championship atomweight Ritu 'The Indian Tigress' Phogat, who fights on December 3 at ONE: Winter Warriors, is as high-level as they come. If the Indian wrestling prodigy bulked up and fought at 125 lbs, she would be a huge problem for Shevchenko. Phogat's relentless chain wrestling and otherworldly top game are akin to those of Khabib Nurmagomedov and Islam Makhachev.
The UFC flyweight champ has to be as agile as ever if she is to prevent Phogat from catching her. The Commonwealth Wrestling gold medalist has one of the toughest chins in ONE Championship and uses it to her advantage.
Phogat would gladly eat a punch so she could get close enough to ragdoll her opponents. We've seen Shevchenko put on her back by Jennifer Maia and control her there for a significant period. If 'The Indian Tigress' can do the same, it would be a long night for the dominant UFC champion.
