    Why Does Valentina Shevchenko Have a Gun Tattoo?

    Valentina Shevchenko has about six tattoos on her body, one of which is a Glock on her lower abdomen. As can be seen in the list of brands that she endorses, the UFC fighter has worked with a few firearm-affiliated companies. She believes the gun is universal like an MMA fighter and this has earned her the nickname bullet.

    During her free time, Valentina enjoys going to a shooting range to test her skills. Her social media is filled with photos of her and her sister Antonina shooting different kinds of firearms. The duo were introduced to guns by their trainer Pavel Fedotov, a former Soviet soldier.

    How Many Languages Does Valentina Speak?

    Valentina Shevchenko is fluent in English, Spanish, and Russian. The UFC fighter lives in Las Vegas, Nevada, and fights in America so it is no surprise that she is fluent in English. Seeing that she also once lived in Peru and has Peruvian nationality, a country that has Spanish as its official national language, she learned the language during her time in the country as a martial arts teacher. Her Russian is a result of her origins.
