Antonina Shevchenko Hoping To Return In February or March

In an interview with MMA Junkie, Antonina Shevchenko said that she’s hoping to make her return to the UFC in either February or March. Here are highlights:

On when she wants to return: “I want to fight frequently, especially after this fight. I didn’t have injuries. I don’t have something bad with my body, so I am healthy. I feel strong, and of course, victory gives you more motivation, more energy for another fight. And yeah, we are speaking now about probably February or March to find a fight for me, an opponent, so we’ll see what will happen.”

On getting better with every fight: “Every fight makes you better. After each fight, you are a better fighter. For the next fight, you are a better fighter.”

On who she wants to fight next: “I think I will be looking more who is available to fight because who is available, who is wanting to fight me, we’ll see. No name because I cannot have name. They are all busy or injured. UFC will say, ‘You will fight this day,’ and I will say, ‘Yes.’”
