News Jessica Andrade turned down title shot against Valentina Shevchenko in December

[Geniusss]

This girl has been calling out Valentina for years now and when she finally got the chance she says no? tf?

F I feel bad for Valentina because she said she wanted to fight as soon as possible, she wants to fight more often but idk what's wrong with these girls, mind you, this girl Andrade I heard is one of the most dangerous girls in the game so it's not like it was a soccer mom who turned down the title shot.

Her coach talking about "Jessica had just fought" LOL Valentina fought AFTER Jessica and she was still open to fight in December, mind you, she actually fought 5 rounds while Jessica just one.

Now, in an interview with Ag Fight, Jessica’s coach, Gilliard Parana, says offers were already made since December, but the team was not ready to take on ‘Bullet’ then and are now waiting for a better date to book the match.

“The fight was offered to us in December, but the notice was too short, Parana said. “Jessica had just fought, she had some family and spiritual problems to resolve. They got in touch with us about this Valentina fight in December and then once again after that. We’ve talked about it two or three times. We’re just waiting for a date that’s good for us and the promotion.”

So she didn't "turn it down" she just asked for it to be held in a couple of months because she had shit to deal with, and needed to recover...

Quality sherdog journalism there.

So what? She fought 2 months before December.

Valentina fought on November 21st

 

[Kenny Powerth]

What if they meant December 2021?

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Valentina fought on November 21st

So what? Valentina is Valentina. She's a machine. That doesn't mean Jessica wants to fight again so quickly, plus she said she had personal issues to resolve. I imagine she didn't wanna rush into another training camp. Perfectly understandable.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Andrade is not that answer to the bullet and she knows it

Well, that's very true, but no one is at 125.

Valentina fought on November 21st

So what? People's circumstances are different. Not everyone is working by the same schedule and timeline to all their personal stuff.

I don't get why the champ has to wait on the challenger, just let someone else get the chance. Same thing with Rose vs Weili at strawweight. It's ridiculous.

 

[PrideUltimate]

TS, you sound like a hater. Let them do their business and you just keep following.
They got things to deal with, I am sure they don't want to rush in to championship bout. I think they really need to prepare for it so the fight won't turn out Joanna fight II. If Val loses people like TS are propably going to blame challenger for preparing to fight, because that's cheating!

 

[Hellowhosthat]

I think we got Figgy Vs Moreno because of this decision, so kudos to her.

 

[Psychojoe86]

Valentina is a monster. Andrade knows that she needs more time to be ready.

I don’t have any problems with it.

Hold your horses buddy

my girl alexa grasso might shock you

Alexa's easy to like but you know Valentina would massacre her and it'd be sad.

 

[Ice Hotel]

Andrade has always been incredibly dislikable

Calling Gadelha a "race traitor" and "fake brazilian" for leaving Brazil to train in the US
Calling Nunes "fake" and other insults for cheering for training partner Tecia Torres during their fight

She always points out other stupid petty things about her opponents and can be pretty cringeworthy at times, that dance video people a prime example but Im too lazy to find it rn. She doesn't even deserve a title shot with one win in the division anyways, give it someone willing to fight.

True, but that's the difference between a champion, and a contender.

Jessica doesn't deserve to get any shit for not rushing into fighting Valentina, which is the most difficult of her career, without proper preparations. Jessica has a huge task ahead of her.

careful all the

I will

im doing the same thing but im thinking of some maple bacon eggs benedict

 

[Tapatio]

Porra, she not heady for the bullet

 

[Fess]

Thanks TS, was wandering what happens with Valentina, and couldn't find shit.
Usually I don't mind when fights get postponed, but in this case, when a champion willing to fight more often, and some contender which is actually an accidental one as I do think that there are girls that deserve it more than Andrade who fought only once in that division, turned down not only ones but twice or three time, isn't that acceptable.
I wish that UFC would give it to Murphy, JoJo or someone else, and let Andrade wait a little bit more for her shot, if she not that eager to fight for the belt.
Usually fighters jump on an opportunity, but it seems that not everyone.
