UFC boss Dana White called one of his champions a "f------ demon" after she left her opponent Jessica Andrade motionless on the canvas with an ice-cold head kick.

It was yet another dominant win for UFC flyweight queen Valentina Shevchenko, who retained her title at Saturday's UFC 261 in front of a capacity crowd of 15,269 people at the VyStar Veterans Memorial Arena in Florida.

Since dropping a split decision loss to pound-for-pound star Amanda Nunes in 2017, Shevchenko has been on an unstoppable run, tallying victories over Joanna Jedrzejczyk, Liz Carmouche, and now Andrade.

The win over Andrade may be the best of the lot. Before the bout, the Brazilian was regarded as a tough challenge for Shevchenko.

But the reality of the match was one of dominance. Shevchenko took Andrade down with ease five times in the opening round, and twice in the second.

In the crucifix position, Shevchenko was able to pound Andrade easily with fists and elbow strikes until the inevitable finish arrived.

"It's almost like she was pissed, she was mad," said White at the post-event press conference.

"She was like a f------ demon tonight, pissed off that anyone could imagine that was possible [that Andrade would be competitive]. She looked incredible - one of the best performances of her career."

In a statement after the fight, Shevchenko said: "I don't have fear to go and fight, to go and wrestle, to go and grapple."

"I saw and hear a lot from Jessica that she is so secure that she can be stronger than me, than she can dominate me on the ground, I knew it, but I didn't want to say nothing because I know my power and what I can do."

On the finish, she said: "Once I was in the crucifix, I secure my position first, then I start to land hits, I start to land elbow, I saw the blood and I heard the referee, and then I knew, this is my moment, I need to finish it, I don't want to fight five rounds."

With victory, Shevchenko advanced her pro MMA record to 21 wins (seven knockouts, seven submissions, and seven decisions) against three losses.
