No. 1 ranked women’s bantamweight Valentina Shevchenko made her Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) debut in Dec. 2015. She stepped in as a late replacement for Germaine de Randamie. She clashed with former women’s Strikeforce bantamweight champion Sarah Kaufman.
“Bullet” entered the contest on a four-fight winning streak. Shevchenko’s clinch work and ground control told the story of this fight. Kaufman failed to find her range when she was standing and any time she found an opening, she was taken down. The former champion took her opponent to the ground in the final frame, but it was too late.
Shevchenko earned a split decision victory and improved her record to 12-1. She is now 13-2 and coming off the biggest win of her career, defeating Holly Holm by unanimous decision. She will meet Julianna Pena at a UFC on FOX event inside the Pepsi Center in Denver, Colorado on Jan. 28.

The Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) has been uploading free fights to promote this Sunday night’s (Jan. 15) UFC Fight Night event in Phoenix, Arizona. This time, we go back to June 13, 2015 at UFC 188. Yair Rodriguez fought fellow 145-pounder Charles Rosa in Mexico City.
“El Pantera” and Rosa had an exciting affair that was left in the hands of the judges. Rodriguez got the split decision nod. The two fighters each earned a “Fight of the Night” bonus.
Rodriguez will do battle with the biggest name he has ever encountered. Sharing the Octagon with him will be UFC Hall of Famer and former two-division champion B.J. Penn. Rodriguez will look to extend his winning streak to eight. Penn, on the other hand, will be in search of his first victory since Nov. 2010.
The event’s co-main event will showcase two veteran lightweights. Joe Lauzon will meet former Bellator mainstay Marcin Held. Both men are coming off losses and are vying to rebound. A victory for Held would be the first in his UFC run.
Another bout on tap for the main card will feature a returning welterweight and The Ultimate Fighter (TUF) season 11 winner. Ben Saunders makes his return to the Octagon when he goes toe-to-toe with Court McGee.”The Crusher” has gone 4-4 in his last eight bouts. “Killa B” is 6-2 in his last eight outings. In that span, he pulled off the first omoplata submission win in UFC history over Chris Heatherly back in August 2014.
A bantamweight bout between No. 6 ranked Jimmie Rivera and Bryan Caraway was pulled from the card when “Kid Lightening” was bitten by the injury bug. Rivera initially agreed to face replacement Marlon Vera, but he decided not to go through with the bout. “El Terror” was removed from the event and Vera was none too pleased about the situation.
