UFC Fight Night: Shevchenko Vs. Carmouche 2 Predictions
1. Valentina Shevchenko Vs. Liz Carmouche
Although it might seem unfair that longtime MMA and UFC veteran Liz Carmouche is such a large underdog going into her title fight against Valentina Shevchenko, it's less of knock on her as a fighter and more of a credit to Shevchenko and her dominance.
Carmouche certainly brings a lot to the table. The former bantamweight title contender has fantastic grappling and actively searches for submissions, especially chokes from a variety of positions. Carmouche would be a major problem against most fighters at flyweight, but Shevchenko isn't most fighters.
Carmouche will be much tougher challenge and will provide more problems than Eye could, but anything less than a finish for Shevchenko will be disappointing. However, if she continues on the run she's currently on, it's almost inevitable that the finish will come.
