Valentina Shevchenko demonstrated that she’s much more than just a talented striker tonight at UFC on FOX 23, as the bantamweight submitted Julianna Pena in the card’s headliner.

Pena looked to clinch up throughout the fight, and in round two, she took Shevchenko to the floor. The latter, however, worked her way into a beautifully timed armbar and brought about the tap.

In the co-headliner, Jorge Masvidal halted Donald Cerrone’s rise up the welterweight ranks, by stopping the latter with a flurry of punches in round two.
