On the morning of September 17, in the main event of the UFC Fight Night 227 tournament in Las Vegas, USA, the Kyrgyz athlete had a rematch with the Mexican, to whom she lost ahead of schedule in March. This time the meeting went the full distance and ended in a draw via a split decision.
“I think I won 3-2, but the judges apparently felt pressure because of Mexico’s Independence Day and therefore gave another round to a fighter from that country.
I expected a battle, and that's exactly what I got. We started a war, I went to the end, and I think I did enough. In a fair fight, in a fair competition, I would have won,” Shevchenko said after the fight.
