UFC Uruguay: Shevchenko vs. Carmouche - Fights to make
The UFC successfully made its debut in Montevideo, Uruguay on Saturday night, but it might be a stretch to say that the card delivered. In the main event, women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko defended her belt for the second time in a lackluster bout against Liz Carmouche. Shevchenko did more than enough to avenge a 2010 loss to Carmouche, but unfortunately, it wasn’t a particularly fan-friendly fight — and that’s being polite. The co-main event lived up to expectations, however. Vicente Luque and Mike Perry put on an absolute barn-burner in the welterweight division that saw the Brazilian take a split-decision nod over three rounds.
