Last night on Dana White’s Tuesday Night Contender Series, Antonina Shevchenko finished her opponent and earned a slot on the UFC’s roster.
In doing so, she actually made history by becoming half of the first ever sister fighter set signed to the UFC roster.
A highlight of the match is in the video player above.
Her sister, top ranked Valentina Shevchenko was thrilled by her sister’s signing, as evidenced by her latest tweet.
So happy for my sister !!!!
