In 2020, she fought former champion Jessica Andrade at UFC 251 which saw her win by unanimous decision. This was one of her biggest wins to date that propelled her up the ranks of contenders vying for a shot at gold.

Outside of fighting Val continues to pursue higher education goals having recently graduated from University Of South Florida with a degree in business management allowing here toget further involved within MMA outside just competing inside it professionally as well as help pave out future options should decide not continue pursuing fight sports any longer than necessary

Woodburn already holds wins over some very notable names within the sport making it likely that given continued success will make contendable runs towards title opportunities within near future .All things considered ,the sky seems limit when discussing potential accomplishments for this rising star whom doesn’t appear content coasting off past glories rather consistently pushes herself limits each day working towards seeing all possible dreams come true
