Nicco needs to believe in herself, she's 5-0 against the UFC's top 15, while Val is 0-1.
She needs to treat Val like the most dangerous opponent she's ever faced, because she is. She needs to be in the gym daily making massive improvements to her game because the Roxy fight should not have been so competitive.
The rankings right now are absolutely meaningless because most of the division consists of bantamweights dropping down, including Nicco herself. Schevchenko is the most successful of those bantamweights.
If you think Val is going to win like everyone else then she's not overrated. You're just getting defensive because you like Nicco.
You don't know how odds work.
But keep defending the tuf noob, let's hope she doesn't flake out. Quack
Its not that noone is giving her credit... Its just noone caresI favour Valentina in that fight.
But I would not be at all surprised if Nicco won. I watched that TUF season. And I think Nicco is alot better than anybody is giving her credit for. She proved it by coming from being the number 14 seed. And beating the number 1, 2, 3, and 6 seeds. She’s no joke.
I do favour Valentina though. And I expect my prediction will be for Valentina.
bullet will maul nicco.
PS.
She may not win but she won't go down easyI think Nicco will surprise a lot of people here.
no, valentina is overrated because everyone on sherdog has her at like 1/25 to beat Nicco and similar odds to beat everyone else in the division
Damn straight. So many think Valentina is going to one-shot KO her for some weird reason. I'm not saying I am right but I believe this fight will be closer than most think and I won't be surprised if Nicco retains.She may not win but she won't go down easy

I never said it was bad that she was the favorite but I guarantee she isn't going to steamroll Nicco.Well no, she isn't a KO artist. I just think Nicco will have nothing for her. At this stage I would give her a 5-10% chance of winning, because everyone has a chance. Even that's probably a bit generous. Valentina is the favourite and rightly so.

Could be interesting, but Valentina has already beat her 3 times in Muay Thai, and adding in the ground game is gonna help Valentina a lot more than it's gonna help JJ.Interesting scenario is JJ eventually realising she has to go up a weight class. She'd be the best contender to face Schevchenko who will likely beat Nicco Montana for sure.
