Valentina Shevchenko put her flyweight title on line for the very first time against Jessica Eye this evening in Chicago at UFC 238.
The women’s flyweight fight served as the co-main event of the evening.
Valentina Shevchenko captured the promotions vacant flyweight title at December’s UFC 231 event in Toronto, this after she scored a unanimous decision victory over former strawweight queen Joanna Jedrzejczyk.
‘The Bullet’ had gone 5-2 under the UFC banner headed into tonight’s UFC 238 co-headliner. Shevchenko’s only losses in that time have come via split-decision to reigning women’s ‘champ champ’ Amanda Nunes.
Meanwhile, Jessica Eye entered tonight’s UFC 238 title bout on a three fight win streak, her latest being a split-decision win over Katlyn Chookagian.
Tonight’s UFC 238 co-main event was a lopsided beat down which saw Valentina Shevchenko nearly submit Jessica Eye at the end of Round one.
After only landing one significant strike in the opening round, things just got worse for Eye in round two.
Valentina was able to land a brutal head kick which sent Eye crashing to the canvas and signified the end of tonight’s UFC 238 co-main event.
