Bishkek, Feb. 3, 2018. /Kabar/. Kyrgyz athlete Valentina Shevchenko (15-3 MMA, 4-2 UFC) announced herself as an immediate contender at 125 pounds, scoring a brutal beatdown of UFC newcomer Priscila Cachoeira (8-1 MMA, 0-1 UFC) in a fight that should have been stopped well before it was.
The women’s flyweight bout was the co-main event of UFC Fight Night 125 card at Mangueirinho Gymnasium in Belem, Para, Brazil.
Shevchenko was crisp early, firing rapid punches that landed flush on the mark. Cachoeira was firm in the pocket, trying to shake off the damage and fire back, but Shevchenko’s left hand was precise and stunned her foe in the early going. Despite the advantage on the feet, Shevchenko decided to press forward for a takedown, where she unleashed some brutal ground-and-pound blows, slashing open Cachoeira and splattering blood all over the canvas.
Piscilla Cachoeira has never lost a single match according to the rules of the MMA.
For Shevchenko this is the debut fight in the weight category up to 57 kg.
