Valentina Shevchencko lands a heel kick to Katlyn Chookagian’s face at UFC 247. Photo: AP Valentina Shevchenko came into her UFC 247 co-main event 14-1 on and by the end there was little doubt why. The women’s flyweight champion put on a clinic to dispatch Katlyn Chookagian via TKO in the third round at Toyota Centre in Houston, Texas, racking her impressive record up to 19-3 with three successful

title defences.

The 31-year-old continues to dominate her division and is seemingly running out of challengers, with bantamweight and featherweight Amana Nunes the only women to beat her in the Octagon. “I feel there is a lot of talented, very good girls in 125 division,” Shevchenko told Joe Rogan in her post-fight interview. “I still have to fight them, but I’m open for anything, any fight to come in the future.” Valentina Shevchenko lands a punch on Katlyn Chookagian.

Shevchenko and Chookagian felt each other out in cautious early exchanges before the champion took the challenger down late in the first round. “Bullet” then sliced the American open on the side of the face in the dying seconds with a brutal elbow from in full guard.

The Kyrgyzstani began to find her rhythm and her range with her striking in the second round, particularly her head kicks, and took Chookagian down again, dominating with top pressure.

Photo: AFP It didn’t go much further than that, with Shevchenko quickly taking crucifix position and ending it with punches and elbows at 1:03 of the third round, Chookagian unable to defend the strikes with her arms

locked up.

“Actually, I expected a ground KO,” added Shevchenko, who began her US fighting career in Houston with the Legacy Fighting Championship promotion in 2015, living in the city for two years. “It’s the best feeling I can feel right now, it’s entire happiness,” she said.
