It's funny you hate on Valentina but were in tears when everyone gave stick to Joanna. I imagine if Joanna decided she was going to 125lbs and called out PVZ, you would have no issue with Joanna posturing against poor little Paige. I can't even begin to imagine how much you'd hate Valentina is she acted like Joanna does.
It's simple, this is a new division and the UFC have (supposedly) attempted to gift PVZ a title shot. Valentina wants the belt (like most fighters), we all know the title is going to the TUF winner, so who gets first shot is up for grabs. Valentina was totally justified in calling PVZ out for a 'title eliminator' bout.
The question is why should PVZ get first shot ? Why not Valentina who is coming off a title fight in the 135lb division ? The fact everyone, including Valentina detractors such as your self, admit it's such an easy fight for her says it all. Valentina would walk through Paige, she's the better fighter and has earned the title shot more so than PVZ. Not to mention the fact she's willing to fight to earn it, instead of wanting to wait it out and get gifted it.
This title shot wasn't earned by PVZ, it's being gifted due to looks, popularity and her DWTS stint. The fact some people don't have a problem with that is odd, considering how much UFC fans supposedly hate unjustified title shots.
The fact people are giving Valentin stick for this is hilarious. Imagine a fighter wanting to fight, imagine a fighter wanting to earn the title shot and challenging those in their way. Can you imagine that ? How horrible.
What if PVZ won the title and refused to fight Valentina ? It's possibly, I mean we have many champions who attempt to avoid unfavorable match ups. It's a smart move on Valentinas part to attempt to interject here and stop PVZ from holding up the division, it's also smart to publicly call her out to front on her and make her look weak, in case she does win the title and Valentina can use the call out as PR, she could sit there and 'sell the fight' by saying PVZ has ducked her and is continuing to do so. It pressures PVZ to accept the fight in the future to save face.
Don't you Joanna fans love 'selling fights' ? Fighters who talk a big game ?
LOL. Nobody but PVZ ever sais PVZ was getting the first shot, Dana straight up laughed it off. "Your" girl (so pathetic) is just looking for an easy win, like a punk. Get over it.
