[@FC-kn3eb]

I love to see fighters with that attitude outside the octagon even before a fight. Congrats to both!

[@brianshepherd9927]

She respects her!

[@peacethroughstrength172]

I hear you but on the DL, she loves and respects AG and vice versa! Believe that. What an amazing pic of them together. These 2 are great ambassadors not only to women's combat sports but to all across the board. Semper Fidelis

[@rave123456v]

I'm not asking these ladies out but based on how there last fight ended I'm pretty sure this boosted both of their attraction levels to new heights. As after the last fight result who doesn't want to ruin both their fight plans.

[@FightSportTalk]

Shevchenko really is a different person when she is not in fight camp, usually she is always on edge because of her competitiveness. Strange the UFC chose them when their entire model is partly based around fighters trash talking each other.

[@Stella_B-fo5vu]

My thoughts exactly both of them don'T really do trash talk or put it on for camera's so I'm very interested in seeing how they interact but also Conner/Chandler trashed each other & the season flopped so maybe something different 🤷 I reckon after all is said & done these 2 ladies will be@least friends

[@hugo9846]

Wtf, they're going to make Blanchfield wait more than a year for her title shot?

[@lollercoaster4]

She's going to lose to Manon anyway, doesn't make a difference

[@sfer1]

Blanchfield and Fiorot need to face each other to earn the next title shot. Neither of them made a statement in their last fight. Santos was beating Erin comfortably until she went for a takedown, Erin rebounded against the cage and was lucky to land on top. Tayla, who hadn't fought in over a year and was returning from injury, gassed trying to get back up. It was a different fight after that. Erin then proceeded to wall and stall to victory. Her win was lucky and unimpressive. Fiorot at home barely sneaked a decision against a one-handed Rose, who dislocated a finger on her leading hand seconds into the first round but still managed to outstrike her.

[@hugo9846]

@@niconick2551 Yes, but she should have had a title fight already, beating Andrade and Santos; did better vs Santos than Val too. If and when Erin wins and gets the title shot, it will have been two years since Erin has already earned the shot.

[@lollercoaster4]

She did literally nothing against Santos. She was getting destroyed on the feet in the first round and started to hug more in the second and third to edge out a decision. She did absolutely nothing with it and it's why this sport is plain stupid sometimes. Personally, I think fights like that should be a win for the striker or a draw. She couldn't do anything with her. How is that a win? The whole scoring system needs a revamp. Manon is going to eat her alive@@hugo9846

[@sfer1]

@@hugo9846 Blanchfield got lucky against Santos. She did absolutely nothing to win the fight. A fortunate landing after rebounding against the cage saved her ass. She was losing the fight comfortably until that point.

[@sfer1]

​@marcelotapia3970 Alexa won the title fair and square. Then lost the rematch, but was gifted a draw. She should be the favorite to win the third fight though, because Valentina is past her prime. She's not that old, but she's been competing since forever. She has too much mileage. Valentina in her prime would have beaten Alexa with ease.

[@asianconnection7701]

@@sfer1 VAL also lost the rematch, GRASSO almost finished Val twice, one time was after the knockdown, Val got lucky her takedown saved her, then the last round GRASSO had back control and time ran out
