Valentina Shevchenko is hands down one of the best female mixed martial artists of all time. Her skills inside the octagon are something to watch - her striking especially - which is world-class. All of her skills and the way she carries herself are enough to make people speculate that she was a spy or something crazy like that. Well, even if she wasn't, she could make a very good one (with Amanda Nunes as the final boss).
Now UFC lists Valentina at 5'5" which is right around where Ronda Rousey and Joanna Jedrzejczyk stand proud and strong in real life. Valentina is shorter than both women, she is a bit shorter than a 5'6.5" Amanda Nunes as well. All of these things led us to believe that Valentina is around 5'4" in real life - slightly taller than Weili Zhang (5'3") and Kind Cejudo (5'3.5").
The real height of Valentina Shevchenko is 5'4" or more accurately 163 cm

Data painstakingly extracted more or less from Wikipedia and some other sources. Expect up to half an inch of discrepancy from real life. All heights are supposed to belong to relatively young people of the urban areas, so they may come out slightly over the real average height.
