BOLD Prediction: Shevchenko loses rematch to Grasso

[AmonTobin]

I think she's making a big mistake demanding an immediate rematch. If she loses twice, it will be a huge setback for her. If she rematches Taila Santos that would be another setback. Is her best bet to challenge Fiorot or Blanchfield? Rematch Nunes? Or do you think she should take a gamble and rematch Grasso right away?

 

[dc007]

Doesn't matter. Her time is coming to an end. She's aging overnight.

 

[Arm Barbarian]

It was a competitive fight overall. More damage appeared to be done on the feet by Grasso, but Bullet was handling her in the grappling, prior to the spin getting timed perfectly.

 

[Johnny_Knuckles]

Competitive fights before the finish all not, shev wins the rematch.

Ideal situation now is win the rematch and then retire

 

[nostradumbass]

Why would she rather fight those others instead of Grasso? They're just as good but she doesn't get a title if she wins. She wasn't dominating Grasso, but she was less than a minute away from being up 3-1 and having the fight in the bag before whiffing on her spinning shit.

 

[TITS]

Who cares, the division is substandard.

 

[Mmmmmmma1234]

Anyone who thinks fighting for the belt is a mistake doesn't understand how the UFC works.

It's not /thread

 

[Rorsahack]

She's over the hill and on her way out, the blueprint to beating her is manifesting itself more & more every fight.

I disagree it is a huge setback. She is probably a couple of losses from retiring, might as well be in a title fight.

That said I agree she isn't fixing the flaws that are showing in her game the last few fights.

She won’t retire. A) She still needs to make money to facilitate her lifestyle B) Her entire life is martial arts

 

[TheTickG]

Option 1 fight for the title
Option 2 don't fight for the title

Regardless of the outcome she's choosing the right one

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

Why would not fighting for the title be the smarter option?

Why would fighting a difficult opponent for less money be a smart choice?


You think winning the title will be easier when she is even older? Valentina turns 35 this year. If she waits she’ll be 36 challenging for the belt

 

[doggo]

She can still adjust enough to counter that boxing if she plans it right. Take the fight now is best choice possible.

 

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

She isn’t used to losing. That’s why she is not good at it. Not enough practice

I agree, although I bet that if they fight again, she's gonna be too scared to do any spinning thing. Then imagine the shook when she realizes she can't spin no more.

 

[brakkkop]

last 2 fighters she fought were real fighters, i think she lost both fights, before she fought soccermoms. she is not the goat of wmma because of the shitty competition.

 

[Broke Lester]

She needs a new coach, change things up.

 

[jooohnmatrix]

She should probably retire. She was never that good anyway.

 

[Lightning Victor]

It is harder for woman to compete at 30.

 

[Wonderfight]

Why would she fight anyone else? She was winning with relative ease and she knows that she can handle Grasso everywhere expect in giving your back for free. And all that aside, what is the reason she would fight anyone else? I legitimately can’t see it…
If she loses, she loses. Those things happen. But nothing wrong with wanting the rematch in this situation. People still acting like she didn’t have Grasso lost on feet in 4th round.
