It’s been a long, winding road between wins for Andrea Lee.
The flyweight contender picked up a much-needed win on Saturday, defeating Antonina Shevchenko by second-round triangle armbar submission on the preliminary portion of UFC 262 in Houston. It was the first win for the Texas native in her home state after two previous tries ended in split decision losses, including a controversial call against Lauren Murphy at UFC 247.
Though Lee was critical of the judging the last time she fought in Houston, she also acknowledges that her performances were affected by the extraordinary stress caused by issues in her personal life.
