On Saturday night at UFC 238, Valentina Shevchenko delivered one of the scariest knockouts of the year, laying out Jessica Eye with a head kick that had the title challenger unconscious for several minutes afterwards. It was Shevchenko’s most dominant performance to date and left Dana White wondering who would want to fight Shevchenko next. It also may have finally started to silence some of the criticism surrounding the UFC flyweight champion.
It’s hard to say that a -1200 betting favorite is being disrespected but coming into UFC 238, that was sort of the case.
