Val, and all the female champions right now are incredibly impressive.
I've been impressed by Chef Cenko for a long time. She's so much better than anyone in her weight class. I thought he poise against Chookigan was almost rude. She gave Chooki more respect than she deserved. It almost came off as mocking, before refusing a guard pull, slamming her opponent and finishing her in 20 seconds. She let Chookigan have faith in her guard before dismantling it in the second round, with ease. She whooped her mentally and physically.
Her beat down on Cachoeria is hard to watch. Her punches land so fresh and clean, the ref should have stopped it earlier.
Her KO of Eye is terrifying. It looks scary, it sounds scary. It looked like murder.
imo, Val is one of the best fighters in the world right now. She's the real Black Widow.
