It was not too thrilling as her previous one, but Valentina Shevchenko’s second title defense was a success. In a not too exciting bout, ‘Bullet’ bested Liz Carmouche via unanimous decision, winning every single round in the opinion of all three judges at UFC Uruguay. On Twitter, pro fighters and journalists reacted to the fight.
I bet 4 strikes landed in that 1st

Liz Carmouche’s corner tells her she’s “following the game plan perfectly” after two rounds. Curious what that game plan is since the universal scorecard appears to have Valentina Shevchenko up 20-18. #UFCUruguay

Liz corners are terrible not giving any good advice and who came up with this game plan

Thales Leities and Demian Maia each landed 10 significant strikes over five rounds against Anderson Silva.
Carmouche is at 7 after three rounds.

Fight goes the distance. Never in doubt. Shevchenko will get the nod. This is why I said last week she is the most dominant champ right now. The gap between her and the rest of the contenders is extremely wide.

Must be nice to make title fight money and not even have to deal with a threat , just coast 5 rounds to safe victory and get paid. #blessed

Can’t say that fight was thrilling. Shevchenko did what she needed to do to safely secure the belt, but man so conservative and carmouche just couldn’t find her range
