Valentina Shevchenko and Joanna Jedrzejczyk went for five rounds in the co-main event of UFC 231 in Toronto. It was a technical and patient display from both women, which lead to an intriguing and well-balanced tilt. However, it was a fight which lacked fireworks and it resulted in a pretty obvious decision victory for new UFC flyweight champion; Valentina Shevchenko.
The entire fight saw Jedrzejczyk trying to pressure Shevchenko by coming forwards with her famous jab and quick combos. However, ‘Bullet’ was content to sit back and wait for Jedrzejczyk to leave herself open. Throughout the fight Shevchenko was able to club Jedrzejczyk when she came in, but her biggest success came from the pressure she was able to exert on the former UFC strawweight champion when bullying her against the fence and taking her down.
