True or False:The Only Woman In The UFC That Can Beat Valentina Shevchenko (Not Named Amanda Nunes)

[bogeyj]

Germaine de Randemie

-very big & strong so I don't see her getting bullied in the grappling
-great striking pedigree on par with or exceeding Valentina's own
-outstruck Amanda Nunes which Valentina didn't even do

if you want to give Bullet a challenge, feed her The Iron Lady!

 

[TempleoftheDog]

GDR can be grounded and held there. If she improves her tdd, and ability to get back up. She beats Shevchenko easily.

 

[FriskyRandy]

False. And you know that. Why did you waste your time making this like a big dumb ape?

 

[josp1]

The grappling wouldn’t go well

 

[Vincentsky]

Even GDR knows it’s false she vacated the belt because she didn’t want to fight cyborg and look what Amanda did to cyborg

 

[The Schmoop]

Valentina outclasses her everywhere but I feel like you already knew that.

 

[MoneyMcGrabber]

GDR is good, but she got sooooo overrated because she fought Nunes when Nunes had an off night…

 

[RonMachineGunJhun]

Didnt she retire

Maybe, but can she make 125?

 

[Lights Out 101]

Didnt she retire

Nope. She’ll be fighting at some point in 2022.

Would you want to fight Wanderlei in a dress and heels if you were a woman?

Nunes didn't have an off night lol, GDR has the best striking in the division.

False. And you know that. Why did you waste your time making this like a big dumb ape?

Big dumb apes make the worst threads.

 

[RemyR]

Hard to say TBH. I’d favor Shev but it’s like 60/40. If they were closer in size I’d say Shev all the way.

It is hard picturing someone out strike Shev but if anyone can GDR could pull it off.

 

[Sausage_Carius]

False.

Val will sit back and force GDR to strike first and will immediately pull a hair trigger 1,2 and close the distance to a body lock which will lead to a trip at which point GDR will get crusifucked. At this point we have seen enough to know exactly what Val does in practically every scenario.

The only female Shev wasn't able to crucifix, and she did try, was Joanna. Joanna had a hell of a time with Val's strength and was essentially laid on top of and held against the cage for a significant portion of their fight. The fact that she even got up was amazing. GDR won't last a minute on the ground with Shev and even if she somehow does she won't be getting back up again.

While I don't think GDR is big for 135 she would have a hell of a time trying to make 125 especially at her age. Just no.

If you want to see a big ass girl with power and skill try and take out Shev you will need to find someone very young and/or have Yoel like genetics just like Shev to even have a chance.

There's maybe a handful of girls like that every year and MMA doesn't pay enough for them to bother spending the rest of their athletic career trying get CTE to do it. Becoming an instagram model for a semi-known athlete willing to work at it pays more, is 1000x better for a work/life balance, and they will be able to recall the names of their kids by the time they hit 60.

You read that correctly. Deal with it.

Germaine de Randemie gets ragdolled

Shevchenko took down Pena twice and submitted her in 2 rounds

Nunes

Took down Holm 3 times, Sarah Kaufman 4 times.

Shevchenko's grappling has only improved since her 135 run

 

[koquerelle]

It seems she barely ever fights. I don't see it.
