This is no rivalry, Grasso was robbed in the last fight winning 3 round with 10-9 score (2, 4 and 5; 48-47), and already beat Valentina twice and finished her once. And Grasso vs Shevchenko should be the co-main event to Topuria vs Ortega (no way they go to Bernabéu stadium this year for a PPV)
@@pokemonovice9758 Oh please. She did not beat Valentina twice. How you personally score the fight doesn't matter. The last fight was a draw and these two women need to settle their business before the division can move on. And Ortega has no business getting a title shot either. He has one win since 2020!
It's not how I personally scored it. Grasso outlanded Valentina, had more submission attempts, had more transitions on the ground, had more knockdowns than Valentina, had the slam (takedown with impact listed in the judging ruleset), he had the g&p on the ground and Valentina didn't,... I can go on. It was as clear as day, and factual, that Valentina won round 1 and 3; and that Grasso won rounds 2, 4 and 5. The only controversy was Sal D'amato the king of bad decisions, and Mike Bell, both guys giving the 4th round to Shevchenko for some strange reason... both guys need to be investigated for that bad call@@DoncoEntAgain
@@pokemonovice9758 Grasso vs Shevchenko 2 fight metric. Significant Strikes landed by round: Rd 1: 14 - 12 Shevchenko Rd 2: 28 - 15 Grasso Rd 3: 9 - 4 Shevchenko Rd 4: 20 - 19 Grasso Rd 5: 23 - 20 Shevchenko
So you're saying Shevchenko won round 5. Not even Valentina herself says she won round 5. Grasso not only landed more in the 3 rounds she won, but she also had more submission attempts, had the control of the octagon and was the aggressor, had the slam (takedown with impact, referred in the ruleset book), had the transitions on the ground and effective grappling cause she had G&P -unlike Valentina who did not-@@Bob_Cratchit
McGregor vs chandler with alexa and schev would be awesome
That would be cool all them coming from coaching tuf
Man I like the questions you ask these fighters! I could see you on ESPN or another channel having like 10 minutes segments with fighters one day. Great questions!
That's a huge compliment! Thanks so much, Robert. Means a lot that you'd take the time to write that. Hope you keep tuning in :D
Valentina is also a 10... Haha. Is she just the sweetest or what.
oh YES!
Bullet Valentina is a soar loser and she loves Guns 🤮
You missed a comma, and for a second I thought Alexa had beef with Sean Strickland lol
Looooool I had written "beefs" initially but it autocorrected
That was my exact thought. Like damn why are Alexa and Strickland beefing?
Make it happen Dana 😆
Title is still a bit ambiguous tbh. Swapping the names would be a solve, since it looks to play out that way over the course of the interview already…
@@StaminaMCAt this point I'm getting a kick out of the mishap 😂
Valentina is awesome. Multi talented and such a sweet heart. ❤❤❤
She can really do it all haha
Still some of the best questions in MMA media, always have the fighters engaged and relaxed 🍻
Appreciate you, John! The kind words are very encouraging :)
Classy champ as always.
She's everything but classy. Always cheating in her fights (including headbuts, attacking after the bell,...,), always making excuses, never gives credit to her opponents, gets picky when it comes to the location and date of the matches when she's not even the champion anymore, throws shade to other fighters,... The list goes on and on
Definitely!
Classy? She's one of the most arrogant champs that the UFC has ever had lol
@@pokemonovice9758 - ALWAYS making excuses. Amanda beat her twice she wouldn't sh*t the phark up about it. She lost not once but twice. Go and cry in the corner.
Great interview
Appreciate you!
Valentina vs Strickland on Tuf is missed oportunity-
LOOOOOL
For context, Sean Strickland said that nobody wants to watch women's UFC. Valentina started tweeting to him and he argued with her for a while, but eventually chilled out after a hard training session and told her she was right. Sean lives by his gun, but I've seen Valentina's Instagram (as we all obsess over lol), she's got one hellova shot.
To be fair, Valentina is the only female fighter that's actually interesting to watch. Anybody else is just a bathroom break or a beer run XD
I love valentina so much
She would take Joanna and Weili, because she's salty Rose moved up to 125 and said she was willing to fight her.
lol u are the one salty and thinking too much. Haters will hate whatever her answer is. If she choose rose u will say she salty with wei li. Nothing make u happy you loser
Oh really? What a hater you are. They are friends and respect each other. She pick wei li out of respect too.
I'm far from being a hater, but she's clearly a woman who holds grudges. That's clearly the reason she chose Joanna and Weili, instead of the woman who beat them both twice.
Man these questions are fire, you will go far brother I truly believe in you. I rarely see this type potential, all time great shit. Fuck whoever trolls this comment, I’m rooting for you bro.
We get it you're a family member or male lover
Appreciate you, Re-Up! You can be my honorary family member for sure
@@ShakMMA lol it took every ounce of willpower not to go off on that troll, idk how y’all do it 😂😂
@@PTO_Finesse I'm not a troll I'm his boyfriend
Shhh don't tell my wife
Class person ! True champion
Every day that goes by is best for Alexa because Valentina is much older and age is catching up with her. She is much slower than she was before. The longer they wait, the chances of Valentina winning their 3rd fight go down while they go up for Alexa.
The video title looks like Alexa Grasso had a beef with Strickland. I was like what????
I was going to change it after the first person mentioned it but I'm kind of enjoying the chaos 😂 It auto-corrected from "beefs"
Goat
After the Macgregor/Chandler fiasco this matchup will be the death knell of the ultimate fighter. No one literally cares about either fighter. Make this a ufc fight night and make it a co headliner because these 2 can’t sell out the apex.
They will be more technical than washed McGregor and low iq Chandler for sure
You’re ignorant
Great interview saw the fight no way was 10-8 can’t wait for rematch. Shooting contest Valentina vs Strickland set up shooting optical course I put money on Valentine saw some of her contest shooting video her skill is very good.
Amazing 😍 what a Perfect Woman....Valentina thee Ultimate Goddess 🔥💯❤️🔥🙌
Love Val
Love Valentina. TUF should be great this year.
I'm looking forward to checking it out too!
Valentina 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
to have amanda as rival makes sense ... because Amanda has been given the GOAT title ... (i disagree ... among other reasons ... i think she lost to Valentina) ... and their the wins were , IMO, undeserved. And so Valentina felt ... while VS Alexa (that i absolute love) , the 1st loss is unquestionable ... the second could be argued. and it is funny how she answers the question about the atmosphere of TUF ... Alexa is an absolutely positively oriented person, Valentina as well ... both are competitive and respectuous. The outcome should be in line of that.
I know haha! Alexa is so sweet
Val no can beat alexa.🤩
🎉
SHEVCHENKO just don’t learn she’s to cocky I got grasso by KO💪🇲🇽
You are on that side tonight
Two fighter val can't beat is grasso and nunes
Amazing woman 🇵🇪🇷🇺🇰🇬🇵🇪🇷🇺🇵🇪🇰🇬🇷🇺
I like how she just says Kyrgysstani fighter and not Russian or Peruvian
Dammit Valentina, you are a super Villan. Stop w the criss cross, applesauce.
She does have a sassy side to her 😂
(Pto Finesse)
Valentina is still crying,my God.
Alexa Grasso is the Goat 🐐
imagine being so lame that you copy nina drama's s***talk like it's some high intellectual property or marketing secret
Shevchenko is almost acting like she’s still champion by trying to say where they fight. It’s not up to her anymore. She doesn’t call the shots.
After that robbery last time she can call the shots anytime she wants or Dana needs to pay her a least few million to get the fight in september again, that how businnes works!
@@marxnicolaas nope. She’s not champion. Alexa Grasso is and will decide where they fight.
@@markusbaker1161Dana and hunter is really who decides they just give the fighter options
@@TheCdean1 Sean Shelby and Mick Maynard are the UFC’s matchmakers.
@@markusbaker1161 match makers your right not the boss
9:20 @NinaDrama
She's been practicing haha
This woman cries so much, SHE LOST BOTH fights to be honest... she complains a lot even when she gets smacked... Alexa smacked her. This time i hope she does not let to the judges... Valentina has a big ego, and she doest not even deserve this third fight rematch, who does that? is like DC getting a third chance against Jon jones but talking shit again smfh fr
