did natalia silva surpise anyone else?

[RockyLockridge]

Wow she made that look easy Grasso, a former champion who had a pretty competitive fight for valentina before getting stomped in the 3rd fight.


Probably the obvious pick for the next title shot I'd imagine. even if she doesn't beat valentina now, Her future is looking super bright

 

[EYEKICKFACES]

She looked good but didn't go forward at all. I can picture her and Val having a staring contest most of the fight.

 

[World eater]

She is good. But too much running around and point fighting for my liking.

 

[Gabe]

She very skilled she just completely lacks killer instinct. It’s WMMA though and she’s young so she can probably be champ.

 

[rorschach51]

Val is fighting Weili next imo, so Natty might have to fight Weili for her title shot.

 

[MerAndre DvalishFili]

She wiggles her butt a lot. It makes me feel funny

 

[Lycandroid]

Jasmine was much more impressive IMO

 

[jeff7b9]

Forest Gump like with that lateral movement.

Fucking "fight" made me dizzy

She's one of the few who behaves and sounds girly. I will be watching her next fight.

 

[Xuh]

I bet on Grasso but wasn't surprised by what happened, Silva has looked like that in all her UFC fights, her speed/movement is beyond anyone else in the division and she also has excellent TDD which makes her 'a problem' as dem kidz say.

I have to say I'm not a big fan of the 'elusive' style of fighting though (I just want to see swanging and banging tbh)

 

[AmalgamOpus]

Absolutely, she's awesome.

 

[Joshua Judd]

She looked great and really utilized her style well against Grasso. Wild how bad Grasso is at keeping her composure, I forgot about all the little faces she was making in the Shev fight.

Oh lets hope so!

Silva is the opposite of Power Slap Stand & Bang.

I'd rather watch Power Slap -- and I have never watched a Power Slap Event, just Dana's strategically placed Slap commercials which should be banned from any public viewing space...

I'd like to see her fight Zhang Weili -- NO, I don't know if they're in the same weight class as I rely on @Ares Black to sort out such WMMA details.

Yeah but seeing how capable grasso has been on her way up, very surprisng she seemingly had no answers for silvas movement

I'll give @Ares Black the day off and inform you that, no they are not the same division lol

What she did worked. She very clearly won all rounds and pretty much all exchanges

But she was on a damn journey in there

Grasso wanted to FIGHT. I like that.

Natalia fought smart dictated angles and range and all that shit but just absolute zero killer Instinct.

I like my violence violent

 

[RockyLockridge]

I like my violence violent

I understand she's an anti fighter, She's trying to make sure a fight doesn't happen while she does a performative point fighting routine, i get it.

 

[AmonTobin]

She fought a brilliant fight. Everything was quick and crispy. The hips and the foot work were so fun to watch.
Poor Grasso got embarrassed.

She reminded me of early Machida.
full mystical.powers era. When guys would fight him and afterwards be like "that was like fighting a ghost, I couldn't FIND that guy let alone hit him."
