UFC fighter Valentina Shevchenko's trainer, Pavel Fedotov, was shot and taken to the emergency room after a shootout at a chicken restaurant in the Chorrilos district of Lima, Peru. Shevchenko was also present at the establishment during the chaos. The news was reported on Monday by Peruvian news outlet El Comercio.

Three armed robbers allegedly entered the establishment Sunday night, taking 5,000 soles – about 1,486 U.S. dollars – from the cash register as well as cellphones, wallets and other belongings from the customers. The robbers also assaulted anyone who resisted the robbery, splitting open the heads of three customers, according to the report.

The robbery and the shootout were captured by security cameras. Shevchenko can be seen in the video rushing to her coach's aid after the shooting ceased.

Shevchenko (11-2) is currently scheduled to fight former UFC women's bantamweight champion Holly Holm in the main event of UFC on Fox 20 on July 23 in Chicago. Shevchenko, 28, is originally from Kyrgyzstan, but moved to Peru nearly a decade ago. The multi-time Muay Thai champion also does some training in Houston. Fedotov is her longtime coach, who moved with her and her sister Valentina to Peru in 2008.

Greg Jackson sending the goons to get at Shevchenko before the fight :lupe:

Well...I see UFC is trying to get Fabricio killed.

On a sidenote, so far 203 is going to be LIT:

Miocic vs. Overeem
Werdum vs. Rothwell
working on Garbrandt vs. Carraway

The UFC this fall :whew:......


Caraway isn't going to take that fight :mjlol: He was already making excuses at the post presser

Dana needs to sit with him and ask if he wants to be an ultimate fighter foreal. Dude has been in the ufc how long and to be honest I only know of 2 of his fights. He is basically miesha's coach who just moonlights as a fighter.......sometimes

I think No Love wins because that's exactly what Aljo lacked MMA boxing. Plus Cody can wrestle and I would think has good take down defense. Where Aljo needs to work on opening his hands up more while his ground game is legit

BSO Founder Robert Littal comes on FTESWL to talk about how Black Sports Online was created and how he got his start in journalism. He addresses the people who feels like some of his material may be considered “click bait” He also speaks on how social media has changed the way things are reported and how other journalists need to evolve or get left behind. Kosher asks him about his finals prediction and who will take home the finals MVP this year.

He also confirms he was on SOHH back in the day.

What is the point of this type of training? She is planted on both her feet and slow to the punch, and that right hand is WEAK...

It looks so stiff and slow, I am not a boxer, but I am guessing that is not the way whatever she is doing is suppose to look like...

Am I wrong?

MMA boxing is way different than regular boxing in the sense of its 4 once gloves so in that sense they aren't used to throwing combinations. I think she's trying to hit the kidney/liver shots but she's just swinging I don't even understand why she is even doing that period.

It's different but the basics should remain mostly the same, especially regarding hip movement, weight shifting and telegraphing.

Her left hand goes so far back before she throws that hook to the body it's probably gonna get her KO'D on a counter :jbhmm:
