Valentina Shevchenko delivered an absolutely dominant performance against former two-time strawweight queen Zhang Weili in the UFC 322 co-main event.
Early in the round, Zhang moved in, looking to press Shevchenko against the fence. ‘Bullet’ used it as an opportunity to blast her opponent with a brutal knee to the body that seemingly knocked Zhang down. Shevchenko took the chance to take top control. Zhang ultimately fought her way back up, only to be met by a nasty spinning back elbow attack from the defending champion.
Zhang appeared to get wobbled by the elbow, but she was close enough to clinch up, giving her time to recover.
