\nShevchenko<\/a>‘s coach has shed light on the injury that prompted
\nher to vacate the

\nSilva<\/a> at UFC
\n332<\/a> on Oct. 3, but an undisclosed injury forced her out. The
\nUFC subsequently announced that Shevchenko would relinquish the

\nset to fight for the vacant championship in Salt Lake City.<\/p>\n

Valentina Shevchenko suffered shoulder and back ligament
\ninjuries before vacating her UFC title<\/h2>\n

Ushatayka\u2019s
\nTelegram channel<\/a> revealed what Pavel Fedotov, Shevchenko\u2019s
\ncoach, said about her injury.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe were supposed to fight on Oct. 3 against Natalia Silva, but due
\nto an injury to the ligaments in the shoulder and back, we decided
\nnot to push things and postpone the fight,\u201d Fedotov said. \u201cGiven
\nthat the recovery will take a long time, we\u2019ve made the decision to
\ntemporarily vacate the belt and once she recovers, she will fight
\nfor it again.\u201d<\/p>\n

Shevchenko hasn\u2019t competed since defending her title against
