We all love you Valentina! Wish you the best!

Imagine if she was black 🤔🚬

[@Zainzackery]

I will watch just because of valentina. Legendary fighter!

[@CookCaramier]

She's just a truly wholesome person, and on top of that, an elite world class assassin.

Valentina is an amazing woman . Goat!

[@mikeyrose4183]

Goat? 😂

[@DGG245cr]

That’s why valentine was hugging grasso and being soo friendly with her, fresh from that friendly competitive Thailand culture

[@PrimeTonysElbows]

doesn't make sense because this is the first time that she's this huggy with her opp before the fight

how could anyone dislike Valentina? What a fuckin amazing human and the people she will coach on TUF will be incredibly lucky to have her as a mentor.

[@jordynivea]

They dislike her because she’s delusional

[@trueking1857]

Because she is a heaux

[@adriennecruz3132]

Delusional and bad sportsmanship

[@Tramontino-jk2qk]

What’s delusional is being a peasant thinking your opinion matters…

[@brandonskiz2193]

She displayed poor sportsmanship citing Alexa’s victories lucky and because it was Mexican Independence Day. I love Valentina but she really disappointed me cause that’s not like her to be acting like that. She was not graceful in clear defeat.

[@misha2.097]

Valentina is definitely the GOAT of women's martial arts

[@stephenmarkelov1829]

What about JOANNA

[@SaraMightyX3]

@@stephenmarkelov1829 Nunes , Valentina & Joanna. Cyborg was bigger than everybody & didn't move up or down a division 👋🏼

[@ryan010able]

no I think Nunez takes it followed by val and joanna. weilj will probably soon take over the spot for number 2 though if she continues her dominance, which I'm certain she will. vals got a great legacy, but it's not quite as good as nunes. rousey, cyborg, holm, miesha, val x2, GDR .... nunes has a resime no woman can beat right now

Valentina is one of my favorite fighters. I still believe she’s better than grasso and that 135 belt is easier than ever to grab. Potential double champ status before retirement!

[@jordynivea]

😂😂😂

[@sachinchauhan5853]

​@@peacethroughstrength172her speed strength and stamina everything has decreased due to her age that's why Grasso is giving her tough fight but Val at her prime will mutilate Grasso

[@gp873]

Grasso is 30 and Valentina is 36. The fact that Valentina fought to a draw and even arguably won at 36 against someone who’s entering their prime shows how good Valentina still is.

[@sadaka201]

She actually won, IMO!

[@user-zz6tb7vy9w]

womens physical decline is less accentuated due to the lack of testosterone in comparasion to men, they feel the effects in a much lower grade than we do
