‘Bullet’ then beat Liz Carmouche by unanimous decision before getting back to fight-finishing ways with a third round knockout of Katlyn Chookagian.
Shevchenko then bested Jennifer Maia over five rounds, and made a fifth successful defence when she finished Jessica Andrade with strikes in the second round.
Lauren Murphy stuck around a little longer before she was finally dispatched in the fourth round.

The 29-year-old Mexican went the distance in her next fight too, recording another unanimous decision victory when she took on Maycee Barber.
