Shevchenko earns UFC flyweight title with decision win over Joanna Jedrz…

In the co-main event of UFC 231, Valentina Shevchenko won the vacant flyweight title with a decision win over former strawweight champion Joanna Jedrzejczyk. The two battled back and forth for all five rounds, but Shevchenko was the clear winner taking four of the five rounds on all three judges scoredcards.

It was a long journey to get there, but Valentina Shevchenko is finally the UFC women’s flyweight champion after defeating Joanna Jedrzejczyk at UFC 231.

Shevchenko (16-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) was never in trouble during the fight and largely had her way with Jedrzejczyk (14-3 MMA, 9-3 UFC) en route to a unanimous-decision victory that put championship gold around her waist after coming up short during her run at bantamweight.

It was a definitive performance from Shevchenko, who won the title by scores of 49-46, 49-46 and 49-46.
