Daniel Cormier recently stated that Valentina Shevchenko is the most dominant UFC fighter since Khabib Nurmagomedov.
Shevchenko has been the UFC Women's Flyweight champion for a while now. 'Bullet' is widely regarded as one of the best women's fighters in the history of the sport of MMA.
'DC' compared the 34-year-old with the likes of Mike Tyson, Lennon Lewis, Floyd Mayweather, and Canelo Alvarez. They have been champions for a considerable amount of time.
Cormier further added that there have been no other fighters who have shown dominance like Shevchenko since Khabib Nurmagomedov in the UFC. Here's what the former two-division champion stated on the DC & RC show:
"I am a proponent of the long reigning champion. I think that it's better to have someone who sits at the top of the world for a while. I point back to boxing. Maybe, I am making a bad comparison. I think back to Mike, and Lennox, and Floyd, and Canelo, and everybody recognized them as the best."
He added:
"I think that's what you get with Valentina Shevchenko. She is the most dominant fighter in the UFC, I mean Khabib was obviously. I know it's a cheap plug on Khabib. Since he's gone, 'The Bullet' is."
