Stake, a leading name in the sports betting industry, has announced that Valentina Shevchenko, the reigning UFC Women's Flyweight Champion, has joined the brand as a Global Ambassador.
Recognized as one of the most accomplished figures in combat sports, Shevchenko is currently ranked No. 1 on the UFC's Women's Pound-for-Pound list. Hailing from Kyrgyzstan and known for her expertise in Muay Thai, she has been a dominant force in mixed martial arts since entering the UFC in 2015. She is set to defend her title on May 11 against France's Manon Fiorot, a top-ranked challenger.
Through this collaboration, Shevchenko becomes part of an elite group of Stake ambassadors, which includes fellow UFC athletes Merab Dvalishvili, Alexandre Pantoja, Max Holloway, Alex Pereira, and Israel Adesanya.
Shevchenko commented on the partnership:
"Stake has become one of the most important and exciting partners of the UFC, and I'm proud to now be a Global Ambassador for the brand. Stake is the home of champions, and I'm excited to work with its incredible team."
Akhil Sarin, Chief Marketing Officer at Stake, added:
"We're absolutely thrilled to welcome Valentina to the Stake family. It's rare to see a true legend of the sport still performing at the absolute highest level, and we're excited to build a long and successful partnership together. We feel that the Stake brand is now synonymous with the UFC, and our relationships with the very best athletes in the sport helps us continue to grow in the MMA sphere."
