Moments later it was Shevchenko who shot in for a takedown and gained top control. However, “Bullet” was able to shoot back to her feet. Shevchenko came out firing in the fifth and backed Santos up, who was able to win a scramble for another takedown. Santos was having trouble finding her range but she did score another takedown in the final moments of the frame.
Valentina shevchenko next fight full#
Shevchenko took full advantage and unleashed heavy combinations while staying away from any sort of grappling.
There was an accidental clash of heads in the third round as well that started to close Santos’ right eye early into the fourth. The champion was able to regain momentum in the third with striking from distance, but Santos moved in again to secure another takedown and took Shevchenko’s back. Shevchenko was active off her back and almost secured an Omoplata before forcing the action back to the feet. Santos decided to lean on her grappling in Round 2 and fought for a takedown along the cage. That was until Santos reversed to back control during a botched takedown attempt by the champion and put Shevchenko in trouble with a few different rear-naked chokes. Shevchenko did good in the early going with crisp counters and a tight body lock along the cage to land hard knees. The others were bullshit dr stoppage in a fight she was dominating but ref wouldnt let her continue due to her arm and the sub the GDR was one of the biggest random flukes ever seen, Peña wins that 9/10 times. The two women battled it out for 25 minutes with the champion squeaking out the split-decision win. Peña has only ever really lost twice in her career, one being her 5th pro fight, and the other to the current WMMA GOAT Shevchenko. Valentina Shevchenko narrowly retained her UFC women’s flyweight title last night (Sat., June 11, 2022) at UFC 275 live on ESPN+ PPV from inside Singapore Indoor Stadium in Singapore, when “Bullet” ran into an equally tough Taila Santos in the co-main event.
