Andrea Lee wanted a win in Texas, and she got it with a triangle/armbar combination that had Antonina Shevchenko wincing in pain before a tap.
The submission came at the 4:52 mark of the second round as Lee extended her hips and tucked Shevchenko’s right arm under her left to hyperextend the elbow.
Check out the finish below.
Shevchenko, the older sister of UFC flyweight champ Valentina Shevchenko, proved to be a handful in the clinch when the two locked up in the first round. Lee took plenty of knees as she fought to free herself and get back to range, where she had considerably better luck getting around Shevchenko’s jab and firing off quick combinations.
