A nice combination from Shevchenko, but the only significant strike that lands is the leg kick at the end. Shevchenko rips off a nice spinning back-first and follows it up with some nice shots. The round comes to an end.

Round 3:

Carmouche lands a nice kick to the body. Shevchenko lands a left hand at the end of a combination. She also gets a nice leg kick in as well. A lot of leg kicks and feints from both women throughout the fight. It has been pretty uneventful for the most part. Shevchenko uncorks a big combination that drops Carmouche, but Shevchenko is unwilling to meet her on the canvas.

The referee stands Carmouche up. Shevchenko strikes into the pocket, they lock up, and Shevchenko uses Carmouche’s weight against her to get top position as they fall to the canvas. Short shots are exchanged by both women on the ground to end the round.

Round 4:

A very nice combination connects for Shevchenko. Carmouche stumbles on her way in on a takedown and Shevchenko pounces on top of her. Carmouche has Shevchenko in mission control, mixing in heel shots to Shevchenko’s rear. Position battling for the most part on the ground. The referee breaks up the action and returns them to the feet.

A spinning back-fist drops Carmouche as she comes in, and Shevchenko has a front lock on Carmouche on the ground. Shevchenko threatens a choke to get her way into side control. Carmouche gets half guard beautifully. The round comes to an end.

Round 5:

Leg kicks are exchanged and the fight gets tossed to the ground again with Shevchenko into Carmouche’s full guard. Shevchenko grinds away at Carmouche, working her against the cage. Not much action going on, just position battling and short shots from both women. Shevchenko passes into half guard and lands a nice elbow.

Mike Perry and Vicente Luque just put on some beautiful violence in the UFC Uruguay co-main event.

The show is currently underway as of this writing, and both Perry and Luque put on a Fight Of The Night contender. The pair exchanged heavy leather, both landing massive shots, but it was Perry who was cut up the most from the scrap. He suffered two cuts under both his eyes early in the first round.

As blood continued to gush throughout the continuation of the bout, Perry decided to try and get things to the ground in the third round. He ate a huge knee on his way in, which ultimately mangled his nose. The result was a completely disfigured nose for Perry, which you can check out in the video below:

After the takedown, Luque decided to pull guard and lock in a guillotine choke. As he continued to squeeze, blood gushed out of Perry’s head profusely. He was eventually able to escape, and reigned down shots from the top as the round came to an end.

Ultimately, it was not enough for “Platinum,” who lost via split decision. However, he’ll likely receive a nice bonus for his performance tonight, which was nothing short of spectacular.

What do you think about Perry’s mangled nose after his war with Luque?
