Once again, Valentina Shevchenko made it look easy in the Octagon.
After two dominant rounds against Katlyn Chookagian at UFC 247, ‘Bullet’ finally put her opponent out of her misery early into the third, when Valentina locked ‘Blonde Fighter’ in the crucifix position and rained down some hard punches until the fight was waved off. On Twitter, pro fighters praised her performance.
Chookagian thinks she’s going to be able to dictate the range with Valentina but I say she’s never faced a striker like Valentina and I guarantee Valentina has fought higher level strikers who can keep range with lots of motion.
