VALENTINA SHEVCHENKO VS. JESSICA EYE HEADLINES UFC 238

The UFC has officially announced its forthcoming event in The Windy City. UFC 238 occurs June 8 at United Center in Chicago, Illinois, and the first three bouts for the card have been shown, including the women’s flyweight title fight. My thoughts about the new bouts — all women’s struggles — are under.
UFC 238 vs. Jessica Eye, valentina Shevchenko UFC women’s flyweight champion Valentina Shevchenko will create her first title defense when she takes on Jessica Eye in UFC 238. Though not official, it’s likely this bout will function as the co-main event of the pay-per-view.
Shevchenko (16-3) is 5-2 in the UFC and won the empty flyweight title with a five-round unanimous decision win over Joanna Jedrzejczyk in her last outing. She’s 2-0 as a flyweight in the UFC, and her only two losses in the Octagon came against double champ Amanda Nunes. Eye (14-6, 1 NC) is 4-5, 1 NC total from the UFC and is 3-0 since moving to the flyweight division. However, her three wins at 125lbs were very close choices, also Shevchenko is a huge step up in contest from who Eye has been battling.
Look for the champ Shevchenko to open as a monster favourite here as she seems to receive her first title defense under her belt and begin to build her legacy in the game.
Katlyn Chookagian vs. Joanne Calderwood, UFC 238
Flyweight contenders Katlyn Chookagian and Joanne Calderwood are also set to match at UFC 238. When there’s an accident to someone in the main event, it’s possible either of those fighters could be called up to fight for the title.
Chookagian (11-2) is 4-2 overall from the UFC and many recently dropped a split decision to Eye in UFC 231. Calderwood (13-3) is 5-2 at the UFC and is coming off of back-to-back wins over Ariane Lipski and Kalindra Faria since moving upward to flyweight.
Enrolling in weight looks like it had been the best choice of Calderwood’s career as she seems rejuvenated in her new weight class. Chookagian is a decent fighter, but she lacks the finishing ability that Calderwood has. The gambling line should be rather close, but I’d favor Calderwood here.
Tatiana Suarez vs. Nina Ansaroff, UFC 238
Top women’s strawweight contenders Tatiana Suarez and Nina Ansaroff will square off at UFC 238 using a potential title shot at stake.
Suarez (7-0) won The Ultimate Fighter 23 and can be a perfect 4-0 at the UFC such as a massive TKO win over Carla Esparza in her final outing that declared herself as a legitimate title contender at 115lbs. Ansaroff (10-5) is 4-2 in the UFC and is now riding a four-fight win streak with a breakthrough decision win over Claudia Gadelha in her final struggle.
This is a huge matchup between two of the trendiest strawweights around the planet, and the winner must be next in line to fight the victory of UFC 237’s Rose Namajunas vs. Jessica Andrade. Though I adore what Ansaroff has been doing recently, you just have to go with the upside and accept Suarez in this fight. Like she always seems like, I anticipate Suarez to be a big favorite to win this fight.
