Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Katlyn Chookagian vs Antonina Shevchenko

Gere's the match video of Katlyn Chookagian vs Antonina Shevchenko from last night's UFC show in Las Vegas. The last time we saw Katlyn she lost a title shot to Valentina Shevchenko. I guess someone at the UFC thought it would be funny to have Katlyn face Valentina's older sister Antonina. And Antonina was the betting favorite to win this fight. I don't think she is good enough to be in the UFC. Katlyn normally uses this keep away strategy that was not effective against Valentina. Instead she goes for her first ever takedown and controls the first two rounds. The only problem is she comes close to a finish but fails to get it. And then she lets Antonina off the hook in round three and plays it safe. Katlyn won the fight 30-25. But not getting a finish is a major fail. A fighter has to go for the finish when the opportunity presents itself. She got away with that in this fight. But I doubt she would have the same luck against better competition. And Katlyn said afterwards that she is planning to take time off to start a family. So time's a-wastin'. Enjoy the video!
