UFC Uruguay (or UFC on ESPN+ 14) pitted Valentina Shevchenko against challenger Liz Carmouche in a bout for the women’s flyweight championship. The defending champion Shevchenko continued her reign of dominance, winning all five rounds on all three of the judges’ score cards en route to a shutout decision victory.
Not only did “Bullet” retain her title, but in beating Carmouche she avenged a previous loss to from a bout that took place in 2010. While the bout has received backlash on social media for being “lackluster” by many fans, this does not take away from the dominance of Shevchenko’s win, nor what the win does for her career.
