[@DoncoEntAgain]

Misleading title. She was just saying she's open to fighting Manon if Valentina doesn't accept the fight. I'm pretty confident that Valentina will agree to the fight, as she's already training in Thailand right now.

u da man

[@voodjin]

thx bro

[@deloycelowe1]

They’d be stupid not to do Valentina again. Last fight was a draw, both fights have been great!

[@tunas707]

Valentina spread the rumor that the sphere was no longer going to be Mexican themed. I think its on her being salty and not wanting to fight there.

[@johnnycheckpoint8431]

@@tunas707It’s not a rumor. They literally rebranded the event “Riyadh Season”.

It wasn't a draw. It was a robbery of Valentina

[@crazypato3752]

Nah. We want Manon as the champion she is better than both of them

[@ShotgunAlienYT]

As a Mexican I can confirm that no Mexican fighter wants to lose on this special night so beast mode Aztec warriors activated 100%

Lovely lady

[@watchmanonthewall14]

The Lopes Ortega fight is a coin flip, but even if Lopes loses to Ortega, he has that "it" factor and may one day be champ.

[@xiiety--]

I mean she did beat Val the first fight and the second fight 🤷🏻‍♂️

[@JGAbstract]

can you imagine how pissed dana is going to be if Valentina is refusing to take the fight?

[@armandoangelreyes2046]

She better be ready florot is going to be hard. Erin do not fair well.

She is awesome

[@thewoo205]

Well that’d be dumb.

[@michaelanese]

I like her, but 5th rnd a 10-8 yeah i dont think that was fair should have been 3-2 Val

[@mem5860]

I have it 3-2 for Alexa , very clear

[@MUISHAGGY572]

Nah Valentina didn't do anything special all she did was run to the ground to escape Alexas superior boxing and Alexa was actually closer to getting the submission again. All those score cards bs is all just non sense you can clearly see the fight with your own eyes, Alexa got a knockdown sent Valentina rolling on the floor and Alexa out striked her, search up the real match statistics and you'll see Alexa landed way more strikes and power punches.

[@xiiety--]

No Val was definitely in more danger many times in that 2nd fight than Alexa was all that score card pts is bs u can clearly see Alexa pulled off the edge to win that 2nd fight in that 5th round Val and her fans are delusional and arrogant lol

[@RELopez-mk4ic]

3-2 for Alexa!

[@leatheryfoot6354]

She's fighting Weili is my guess. The UFC just put Grasso and Zhang The UFC 5 Deluxe cover awfully close to each other.

[@DoncoEntAgain]

No way.

[@AlexP-dz7ew]

Can we stop trying to make everyone a two division champion. It makes it harder for them to schedule title fights and holds up divisions

[@lucian6857]

weird issue, it would be manon she deserve it for 2 years now if valentina don't fight, manon or nothing

Only Mexican fighters will be made to win at this event. UFC is so predictable

[@EnigmaMaster]

As far as I'm concerned, Valentina is the champ, judges robbed her of the win

[@Sasquatch10]

Valentina lost to Talia Santos, call it a balancing act of the MMA gods.

[@jorrba3934]

@@Sasquatch10. I agreed. Santos got Robbed against Valentina.

[@jorrba3934]

You could be far and concerned, nobody cares what you think.

[@EnigmaMaster]

@@jorrba3934 for someone who "doesn't care" you seemed to care enough to comment.

[@jorrba3934]

@@EnigmaMaster I just think it’s funny how people still say this was a robbery. The bottom line was, it was a competitive fight. The fact that Alexa had already finished Valentina on the first fight, Valentina had to do more to regain her belt back. She failed to do so. If you want to talk about robbery? Let’s talk about Talia Santos vs Valentina.

[@greggomez6353]

That's why you won because of your celebration day.

[@RELopez-mk4ic]

B.S. brother, she won 3-2.

[@anapaulagodinez8630]

dude i would subtitle this kind of videos to spanish for u for a little $$

[@shikharanand1]

Why is she talking like that?

[@JRL754]

cause that's her second language

[@JohnSmith-pg9ns]

Like what

[@russellkersh389]

I think she’s an excellent fighter and has a great personality but during this interview, she mentioned Mexico more than she mentioned anything about the USA and Mexican has had fighters in the UFC. Since the beginning this is nothing new.

[@watchmanonthewall14]

Personally, I've become a fan of Diego Lopes. He has an "it" factor". Not sure whether he's ready to climb above Ortega YET, but he is young and should continue to improve.

[@martinbanda1232]

Shes not even champ. She lost the fight and only is getting favoritism from the corrupt ufc.

Her second fight with Valentina was CLOSE. Valentina vs Santos was CLOSE. Neither was necessarily a robbery.

[@periteu]

SHE IS MINE!

[@user-ff5yt5dy2h]

I love Alexa but i'm being honest here, she's holding the belt for someone else 1. Valentina was teasing a fight against Manon but Alexa got the fight because Manon was injured, good for Alexa 2. First fight she won fair and square. Val was up in the cards but she seized a good opportunity to finish the fight, good for Alexa 3. Second fight that judge cleaaaarly messed over Valentina, but ok, good for Alexa 4. Manon has been winning all of her fights for a long time, she's been waiting on the sidelines because of all the shenanigans with Alexa and Val, but she's champ material

[@Manitas11]

What the hell did you just say/ask??? Manon will slaughter Alexa!!!

[@user-ff5yt5dy2h]

@@Manitas11 that's what i'm saying. Well maybe not slaughter, but Manon could very well win
