UFC 266 video: Valentina Shevchenko, Lauren Murphy all business for final faceoff
LAS VEGAS – Valentina Shevchenko and Lauren Murphy didn’t give each other an inch during their final face-to-face before UFC 266.
Shevchenko (21-3 MMA, 10-2 UFC) is set to defend her women’s flyweight title against Murphy (15-4 MMA, 7-4 UFC) in Saturday’s co-main event at the T-Mobile Arena. The main card airs on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPNNews and ESPN+.
After both women successfully made weight on Friday morning, they headed to the Park Theatre for ceremonial weigh-ins. It was there they had a final pre-fight staredown in front of fans and media.

Shevchenko and Murphy kept professional for the proceedings and avoided physicality, but brought the intensity with them.
Murphy will need that inside the cage if she plans to pull off the victory. She’s a massive betting underdog going into the fight with Shevchenko, who is seeking her sixth consecutive defense of the 125-pound belt.
Check out the full UFC 266 ceremonial weigh-in faceoff with Shevchenko and Murphy in the video above.
