Silva Rejects Shevchenko's 'Keep It Warm' Remark, Vows Frequent Title Defenses

Natalia Silva has responded to Valentina Shevchenko’s post-fight comments by asserting that the flyweight belt is no longer the former champion’s property. After winning the vacant title at UFC 332, Silva emphasized her intention to fight frequently rather than wait for Shevchenko’s return, citing her youth and injury-free record as reasons to capitalize on her momentum. While Shevchenko claimed the belt was still hers, Silva rejected this narrative, stating she earned the title through recent victories over top contenders. The Brazilian champion indicated she is open to facing Shevchenko eventually but prioritizes defending against other high-ranked fighters like Alexa Grasso or Erin Blanchfield in the first half of 2027. Silva also expressed a desire to hold a title defense in Brazil, a venue where she has never previously competed in the UFC.
