Dana White’s Contender Series 11 results: Antonina Shevchenko scores TKO to get UFC contract

The third week of the 2018 Dana White Tuesday Night Contender Series just wrapped up with each of the five bouts ending inside of the distance. The final fight of the evening saw Antonina Shevchenko, sister of UFC veteran Valentina Shevchenko, put on a striking clinic on Jaimee Nievera. A plethora of knees from the clinch proved to be too much for Nievera, which secured the TKO victory for Shevchenko in the second round. Te Edwards scored a clean one-punch knockout of Austin Tweedy, just 28 seconds into the opening round.

Also on the show, Josh Parisian came out twirling like a 265-pound ballerina, and used the rotary motion to drop Greg Rebello with a spinning backfist, and then followed up with ground strikes to get the first round TKO.
