3. Valentina Shevchenko unbeatable at 125?
The header kind of says it all here. [autotag]Valentina Shevchenko[/autotag] has possibly taken over the status as the UFC’s most dominant titleholder after putting on another one-sided display in a title defense, this time against Katlyn Chookagian.
Going into this fight the odds were steep in Shevchenko’s favor. Did we expect it to be that much of a blowout before the merciful third-round TKO? I don’t think so. Chookagian came in with a nice body of work at 125 pounds, and Shevchenko essentially made her look as though she didn’t belong in the same cage.
Personally, I find it quite amazing to watch Shevchenko show how far the gap is between No. 1 and the rest in her division. There’s no urgency in putting her back in the cage with Amanda Nunes for the trilogy (though that’s admittedly the most competitive potential fight for her), because these efforts are somewhat breathtaking. It’s going to get old eventually, but for now, Shevchenko making artwork of her colleagues is something we can go with.
