Good to see The Gangster from West Linn give Valentina respect. It's crazy to think how spotty Judging can affect the career trajectory of certain Fighters that often lead to the conversation of "Where said Fighter could have been"
I don't think there's anyone that can really argue that Valentina isn't the MOST skilled WMMA Fighter in the world right now. Yes she has two losses to Amanda, and no I'm not saying Amanda isn't good, so Shut the Fuck up Amanda fanboys, but let's be real, outside of the controversial decision for the second fight WHO in the world can anyone confidently say can beat Valentina right now?
She beats Jennifer Maia which she stands a very good chance to do, she's gotta be in that Goat Conversation. It's not her, or Amanda or Joanna or any other High Level WMMA FIghter's fault that other Females just aren't dedicated enough, and for those that are, unfortunately aren't good enough to compete with them.
Valentina and Amanda Nunes are fucking work horses who busted their ass and use their God given strengths to accomplish great things, so I don't really understand how Fans can hold it against them that the level of Competition don't have their level of drive, and skill. They deserve all the respect for what they accomplished.
WMMA is always going to be an evolving and a bit behind, but it's VERY clear that WMMA Fighters CAN break that ceiling, it's a matter of wanting too.
