UFC 238 video recap: Valentina Shevchenko defends title vs. Jessica Eye with head kick KO

In the co-main event of UFC 238, Valentina Shevchenko made the first defence of her flyweight title by knocking out Jessica Eye with a head kick in round two.

What was the high point of the fight?

Shevchenko was dominant from the moment the fight started, dominating Eye from the ground when she secured a body-lock takedown early on. “Bullet” reigned down strikes from the crucifix position and she almost wrapped up a kimura at the end of round one.

As the second round began, both women met in the middle of the octagon and Shevchenko unleashed a massive head kick that knocked Eye out cold.
