Once again, Valentina Shevchenko successfully defended the female flyweight belt. At ‘UFC 255 – ‘FIGUEIREDO VS PEREZ’, ‘Bullet’ struggled against Jennifer Maia’s grappling in the beginning, but adapted well in the later rounds to pick up a unanimous decision win. On Twitter, pro fighters enjoyed the contest.
I would be nervous standing across the cage from Valentina I can’t imagine what maia is feeling

Valentina doing a great job of following the hips shutting down the jiu jitsu game of Maia #ufc255

The fact that maia took her down and is controlling her let’s me know that cejudo would win this fight easily

I love a good underdog story. Let’s go Maia! #UFC255

I bet 50k on Maia… I’m about to cash out!

She won’t. She often takes down people she should be able to out strike. Anyone ever notice, or wonder why? https://t.co/0z4SEaENTy

The champ takes it imo but way closer then pretty much everyone expected. Good scrap, good PPV so far #UFC255

I think Mma needs a shot clock. No more than a min on the cage or in the guard. It would make everything move a lot faster and be a game changer for the fans.

I didn’t see this fight as close but wow is Maia tough! Another dominant performance for Shevchenko. There’s nobody that I see that’s even on the horizon that can challenge her right now. #UFC255
