The latest installment of Dana White's Tuesday Night Contender Series took place June 26th, as always from Las Vegas, Nevada. In the Main Event, Antonina Shevchenko showed off her great Muay Thai skills defeating late replacement Jaimee Nievera. Shevchenko was aggressive when she needed to be, working the Thai clinch to land beautiful knees often. Nievera showed heart in continuing to battle and try and stay in there but the ref stepped in and called it off in round two. Shevchenko earned a UFC contract and joined sister Valentina as the first sisters in the UFC. Here are all your results and our Of The Night Awards.
