#3 Valentina Shevchenko vs. Liz Carmouche, UFC Fight Night 156 – 08/10/2019
Valentina Shevchenko’s first UFC Flyweight title defence ended with her knocking Jessica Eye out with one of the greatest head kicks in promotional history. Unfortunately for her – and for the fans in attendance in Montevideo, Uruguay, as well as those watching on TV – her second defence didn’t go quite so well.

Faced with the first woman to ever defeat her in her MMA career – longtime veteran Liz Carmouche – the Kyrgyzstani striker decided to take a safety-first approach, and simply sniped at ‘Girl-Rilla’ from distance for 25 minutes, peppering her with kicks and punches that never really had Carmouche hurt or stunned.

Carmouche for her part seemed overawed by either Shevchenko or by the occasion – baffling considering her performance in 2013 against Ronda Rousey – and barely did anything in return, resulting in a dull fight that ended with Shevchenko winning a unanimous decision. In the end, the fight was so bad that the fans reserved the biggest cheers for Shevchenko’s victory dance.
