Do you think Valentina loses her next fight?

[blaseblase]

She's 36 and has been slowing down the past couple years. First she fought Santos and scraped out a split decision in a fight many believe she lost. Then she got finished by Grasso, had a second fight that was extremely close, until finally lay n praying her for the win in the third. Her chin appears compromised as Grasso was able to rock her in two separate fights, despite not being known for having power.

Fiorot also isn't known for her power but if Grasso was able to hurt Val it stands to reason Fiorot could as well. She's a better striker than Grasso. And more importantly, she has way better takedown defense and it's unlikely Shevchenko will be able to keep her on the ground.

Who is this "we"? And why did you open the thread? If you actually wanted to ignore wmma discussion you absolutely can. No one is stopping you.

Manon is on a 11 fights win streak and 7-0 in the UFC.

I would say probably,
but such a lack of power in WMMA,
that matchup and style usually is key for winning.
And since I never watch womens fight,
I can't tell at all.

 

[humdizzle]

depends on who it is.

fiorot has made a pretty impressive streak. But ive never watched any of her fights to know if she's good enough to beat Val

 

[13Seconds]

Yes

and yet here you are, responding.

i believe Father Time is catching up with Val. perhaps he's already caught up.
Manon is a very strong woman and no one has been able to keep her on the mat for an extended period of time. she's got a pretty good chin too - she took a flush headkick from one woman she fought and didnt really react to it.
of course, Val is one of the best WMMA fighters to ever do it so i dont feel that i can write her off very easily. its possible she could pull out some veteran savvy trick to catch Manon in a sub or outlast her. but as of right now, i think Manon should be a favorite to win when they fight.

I wanna see Val in John Wick 5.

 

[Oscar Madison]

It's Valentina.

but such a lack of power in WWMA,

You would think but Grasso doesn't have power either yet was able to knock Valentina down twice.

 

[El Fernas]

Father time is about to catch up with her, i would say already did, she used to alternate stinkers (not close decisions) and finishes, then a super close split decision, then loses, then another close (shady) draw, then wins...1-2 fights she will lose again.

A knockdown and getting "rocked" are vastly different things sir.

 

[RockyLockridge]

What kind of goofball say's "/thread" on his own post. That should be a bannable offense.

 

[Darkavius]

I think Valentina could lose her next fight. The key (it seems) to beating Valentina is you have to have consistent pressure on her. Once she dictates the pace of the fight she wins more often than not.

 

[Egészségére!]

If it’s Fiorot 48-47 either way

maybe toss a few on the draw

 

[flektarn]

No.

 

[ninja boot]

Whether or not Val wins is less important to me.... My question is whether Val going to rely purely on takedowns and proceed lay like a comforter on her opponents from here on out.
If there is one thing i can agree with Dana on is that MMA is an entertainment sport and there is very little to get excited about watching that fight strategy.

She was hurt, lol the blow made her do a somersault. This is not the same fighter who fought Nunes, who has Grasso ever done that to?

GSP employed that very strategy for like half of his career, and he's the WW goat sir.
