Here's the match video of Andrea Lee vs Antonina Shevchenko from last night's UFC show in Houston. This fight is at Flyweight. Of course Antonina is the older sister of UFC Flyweight Champion Valentina Shevchenko. She does the same thing as her sister but not as well. They train together so Antonina might as well be on the UFC roster. Andrea is on a losing skid so she needs a win. For most of her career she has been an ineffective one dimensional striker with sex appeal She has been training at MMA Gold in El Dorado Hills, CA meaning Aspen Ladd is her teammate. Coach Jim West was in her corner. I have watched Andrea since her Invicta days and I don't recall her ever going for a takedown. Maybe Schwan Humes will remind me of one. So that was the big surprise. Andrea took Antonina down and went for submissions. It looked like she was going to blow this. She said she heard the 10 second clapper and got the armbar finish. So maybe Andrea always had these ground skills but didn't have the confidence to use them. Did I mention that Aspen Ladd is now her teammate? Enjoy the video!
