Valentina Shevchenko recently criticized Khabib Nurmagomedov's comments on ring girls

Khabib Nurmagomedov's controversial comments on ring girls made a lot of noise in the MMA community. 'The Eagle' suggested that the girls are the "most useless people" in MMA.

Valentina Shevchenko was one of many names who criticized Khabib's remarks.She spoke in favor of having octagon girls in the UFC.

"[The ring girls were here] since the beginning of UFC, they were since the beginning of everything. And like to say, they don't belong to martial arts, it's so bad, it's not right, because they are part [of MMA]. And it's kind of like without all of this, any fighter wouldn't have been in this position, where he is right now. If [there were no ring girls], there wouldn't be no lights, sounds, it's just boring."
