In the first of the three title fights atop the UFC 261 card, Valentina Shevchenko dominated Jessica Andrade on her way to her sixth UFC flyweight title defense.
See all the ways she did in the post below.
Valentina Shevchenko def. Jessica Andrade via TKO (Rd. 2 3:20)
Utilizing a more wrestling-heavy approach than fans have been used to seeing, Shevchenko utterly dominated her opponent. Andrade couldn't hang on the feet, but it was even more crushing when she began wrestling, and she secured multiple dominant takedowns. In the second round, she secured a mounted crucifix, and after a few elbows, Dan Miragliotta stepped in to stop the fight.
Is a return to glory coming for the challenger? ----
