LAS VEGAS – As of Tuesday, Antonina Shevchenko has officially joined sister Valentina Shevchenko in the UFC, making them the promotion’s first sister duo. Considering it’s not every day a fighter gets to earn a UFC contract, and claim a piece of promotional history with it, Shevchenko (6-0) was understandably elated talking about her second-round TKO over Jaimee Nievera (7-4) at Dana White’s Contender Series 11 . “I’m sure our mom will be very proud to know this,” Shevchenko told reporters after the flyweight bout, which streamed on UFC Fight Pass from The Ultimate Fighter Gym in Las Vegas
