UFC 255 Video Highlights: Valentina Shevchenko Beats Jennifer Maia After Brief Scare
Valentina Shevchenko remains UFC women’s flyweight champion with a unanimous decision win over Jennifer Maia at UFC 255.
Shevchenko was challenged more than her usual title defense; however, she still secured four rounds against the challenger on Saturday. Take a look below at the highlights.

Maia had the doubters worried after controlling Shevchenko for the majority of round two; however, it was Shevchenko who continued to build on her legacy. “Bullet” controlled the grappling in rounds one, three and four before throwing just about every strike in her arsenal at a bloody Maia in round five.
“This is extraordinary…”
