Love Valentina. Hopefully she gets the belt back again.
Valentina is not only great fighter, she is very intelligent all question she answer perfectly.. And New
She is my favorite Martial Artist. Watching her train is inspiring. Grasso may defeat Bullet based on style and boxing ability. Valentina is a trained Army knife, skilled and technical. And excellent everywhere. However An overwhelming boxer who is not interested in showcasing spinning kicks, etc....can get the job done by how they overwhelm their opponent. Last time Bullet was up in points, and would have won based on points, Grasso was more of a hammer.. Time will tell. Still #TeamBullet
the fact she has gone back to her muay thai roots training at tiger muay thai is a good sign for Shevchenko imo, muay thai can be used specifically to counter a boxer; teep kicks to manage range, leg kicks to take away the boxers foot work and base, thai clinch to smother them on the inside. If you focus on these things and avoid mid range you can keep away from punching exchanges and break the boxer down.
@@musicplaylists59cool. We shall see!
Valentina shevchenko is the best martial artist i really admired her ...
Great job with all of your Valentina interviews James.
Great interview as always James! I certainly hope Valentina wins her title back. I feel like she didn't really give a definitive answer on whether she would actually fight Rose, though. I guess it doesn't really matter, as the likelihood of that fight being made is extremely slim. Also, is Red Corner MMA actually her channel? I just thought they were working with Valentina on that one documentary.
Love Valentina, hope she can make the improvements and adjustments
The bullet 🔥🔥
Valentina was leading on the scorecards before one of her "tendencies" was finally exploited. I will be surprised if she doesn't take back the title
#TeamBullet ❤
And new 🏆 🔥
Hello from England 🇬🇧 😀 🎉
I love her❤
The Future is now!!!🤓
And new 🎉
Ronda v Nuñes 2 at ufc300 would you watch it
🔥
I love the BULLET! She’s a BABE!
Bullet needs to go super saiyan and crush Alexa.
Hi 👋👋👋👋
Would not bet against Her🤺😹
This is gonna end up bad for her, cause she doesn't accept Alexa was superior and overwhelmed her. If she doesn't make major adjustments I reckon Grasso destroys her easier this time around
Superior? Overwhelmed her? Valentina was winning the fight before Grasso got her back. So, what are you really saying?
@@deepthoughts1739this is what I thought
@deepthoughts1739 I watched the fight several times and it was pretty even. Alexa held her own against one of the greatest women in MMA. I think she will come even more prepared and win again
2-1 up and winning the 4th i like Grasso but saying she is superior it's a little too far fetched for me she is gonna Give Val trouble but I think in the end it will be 3-2 or 4-1 to Val
Superior and overwhelmed? the stats show valentina did more significant strikes in every round
I am worried about the judges for Bullet they may rob her of victory.
I feel like if she wins she will retire and if she loses then also she will retire.. anyhow she is def my fav woman fighter!
@@claude5945did she say that she would destroy Alexa? Media took that out of context .
Kinda looks rejuvenated. Probably she is as sharp as ever, as present as ever. Too bad she's facing the new queen of the division #grassoera
To bad she facing the new Queen? What’s bad about it?
Don’t throw spinning shit.
💢🇰🇬💢
Over with for her she to old past her prime
Boring interview, just looked to annoyed.
