xxUFC women’s bantamweight Valentina Shevchenko got her first submission win in eleven years, tapping Julianna Pena with an armbar from Guard. She now becomes the presumptive next challenger to division champion Amanda Nunes.
As always, Twitter reacted.
Valentina Shevchenko's pre-fight remarks begin with: "Nobody can know for sure what will happen." I respect the honesty.

Valentina Shevchenko comes out to some crazy remix. Shazam has said it's about eight different songs. (I give up) #UFCDenver

Shevchenko dumps Peña again. She was sick of getting kneed in the pelvis apparently. #UFCDenver

Valentina Shevchenko's foot sweep takedowns are controlled, demoralizing for Pena and, most important, require minimal energy.

With 2 slick sweeps Valentina did the most significant moves, but she did nothing with it. I'd give Pena rd 1 #UFCDenver

Valentina looks bigger physically. Strong. Julianna has to change it up a little. Round 1 to Valentina

That was a grinding first round for two fighters scheduled to go five at high elevation.

Valentina Shevchenko taps Julianna Pena with an armbar. What a poised and smart fighter she is. I think she will beat Nunes in a rematch.

"Aggression" goes from being an advantage to a major hindrance when the opposing fighter has a higher/high skill level. #UFCDenver

Valentina didn't change facial expressions once. So calm. Female Fedor.
