After a dominant first round on the ground, Valentina Shevchenko surprised Jessica Eye in the second round to retain the flyweight belt. Only 26 seconds into the round, ‘Bullet’ caught her opponent with a flush head kick that knocked Jessica out cold for several minutes at UFC 238. On Twitter, pro fighters reacted to the finish.
Valentina is a 1400 favorite?!?!
