Valentina Shevchenko Responds to Doubters After Dominant Win Over Alexa Grasso - MMA Fighting

[@bobbydeazy]

UFC doing a bad job how they’re promoting fights at the moment she’s raises a fair point

[@flex2timez]

Her style is boring as hell and he last fight was the second worst fight on the card

[@assconnazi]

@@flex2timez Yeah. Val held Alexa down for dear life because she knows how dangerous Alexa is.

[@whosniickk]

@@assconnazihere’s a crazy idea, it’s wild I know. How about Alexa gets up! Surely since she’s such a beast she can get back to her feet aye? Dustin managed to defend for a long time against islams takedowns and he’s the best in the world. Alexa was just never that good.

[@DoncoEntAgain]

Valentina may come off as somewhat bitter here, but I think she has a right to take a victory lap. I saw so many comments before the fight saying that Valentina was too old, that she should retire, that Grasso had her number. All of those ideas were proven wrong. She didn't just beat Grasso, she totally dominated her (50-45x3) and made her look bad. Valentina reaffirmed her legacy as one of the all-time greats.

[@gp873]

Exactly. Someone gets it

[@DynastyIcon]

yeah i saw all that also.. and i was honestly convinced that they were evenly matched, i was dead wrong.. it was incredible to watch Valentina absolutely dominate Alexa, outstruck her an dominated on the ground.. the casuals and Alexa simps were complaining but it was an impressive peformance to get her belt back 💯 it showed they were never evenly matched, Alexa got lucky in the first and gifted a draw in the second.. Valentina is still the best female fighter in the world

Valentina shouldn't have had to fight Grasso again, she dominated most of the last fight, and was left with a draw somehow.

[@akairibbon4658]

Valentina lost the first fight herself with too many stupid headlock throws which have like a 40% failure rate, would have easily won the first fight without them. She then got completely screwed by one biased judge who should be banned/fired. And dominated the third fight.

Thank you to both fighters for an exceptional trilogy. Valentina showcased her wrestling beautifully and made me realize that Alexa's BJJ was overrated.

She definitely dominated the ground. And that was definitely her strategy. Grasso had a lot of time to improve her wrestling and took the Darren Till route 😂. If we’re thinking strategically, like Valentina was the whole fight, someone watching the fight would think Val is losing on the exchanges because she’s going for the takedown. Val isn’t free balling it in the ring. She doesn’t care what grasso is throwing cuz she’s taking her down as soon as Grasso throws it. So when someone sees the fight in that way, we have to give them the strategy breakdown so they can see it the way Val intended

To say that was fight was remotely good equally says that your a Valentina simp? Couldn’t care less about Grasso or Valentina. I invite you to observe the fight impartially That was a dire content and stay full mount and inflict NO damage is not dominant. The wrestling employed by the likes of Khabib and Islam is infinitely better. If you appreciate BJJ, Wresting, Judo, shuai jiao, sambo, hapkido your eyes will tell you there’s so much more than just sitting on full mount and praying for decision. Next time kid think about jumping to decision in saying your a crying baby or a simp for XYZ when you know that the fight was an insult.

@@HPloveCraftsCat1352 the UFC has always showed a bias to their champions (or popular fighters). Sean O’Malley probably had 5x publicity as Merab because that’s what makes the UFC money. The fighters can complain about it, or they can do what they can to make themselves more valuable to the UFC (like O’Malley, like McGregor, like Izzy). Why do you think Colby Covington got a title shot after a loss? If you haven’t noticed, the UFC really likes making money.
