If there are any rivals remaining out there for Valentina Shevcenko, the “Bullet” sent out a warning following her brutal, one-sided beat down of Jessica Andrade at UFC 261.

“My opponents try to find a weakness, don’t waste your time, there is none,” the flyweight champion told Joe Rogan in her post-fight interview inside the Octagon at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena on Saturday night, after a second-round TKO.

“Here I am, anyone … everyone is asking to fight me … come get some.”

Former strawweight champion Andrade managed to survive a torrid first round where she was taken down at will by the Kyrgyzstani.

Andrade then tried to rip the body in the clinch after getting caught a couple of times, but Shevchenko took her down again, this time against the fence, and got under the chin.
