Big Bad Blog Video Theater-Valentina Shevchenko vs Jessica Eye

Here's the match video of Valentina Shevchenko from last night's UFC show in Chicago. Jessica got the title shot after winning three straight fights. But they were soft wins. Two were split decisions. Then she moved from her home in Cleveland to Las Vegas to train with Gray Maynard at Xtreme Couture. For weeks she claimed to be a new and improved fighter. Fighters lie about that stuff all the time. I don't think she was lying but I have to see it to believe it. Well, it didn't happen. Valentina took Jessica down in round one and controlled her for most of the round. Then in round two Valentina used body kicks to get Jessica to drop her hands to set up a highlight reel head kick for the knockout. That's it. It's over. Brilliant strategy by Valentina. The likely next challenger for Valentina's title is Katlyn Chookagian who won her fight earlier in the show. Another possibility with an upcoming fight is Liz Carmouche. I don't see either doing any better than Jessica. Down the road Maycee Barber is a likely contender. The problem is TUF 26 was a bust so the UFC has to find some decent Flyweights. I think they should look at Rin Nakai who was in the UFC as a Bantamweight. But she's more suitable as a Flyweight. She just returned on today's Deep Jewels show with a win after injuries and an illness. She has skills if she has gotten over that mental block of slow starts in fights. Enjoy the video!
