Does Weili Stand a Realistic Chance Against Shevchenko?

She is an incredible fighter, I don't deny that. Definitely one of the most well rounded fighters to ever exist, but people claiming she'll run over Zhang and her only challenge is Nunes "who she beat last time" is a bit crazy.

Zhang is tough as fuck and hits really hard, especially for a 115 fighter. Trains like an absolute beast, extremely well rounded too. It'd be helluva fight, 50/50 to me.
Well thats fair. I think Zhang is great challenge for anyone she fights, even Valentina.
 
Speaking as a huge Zhang Weili fan who has been on her hypetrain since she murdered Jessica Aguilar, that is a tough fight for her. But if Jennifer Maia could win a round, maybe Zhang could have the fight of her life and outwork Shevchenko.

But as you know Maia is vastly under-rated around the main section of this place. She is also a big FW with a decent all-around game - and more power in her hands than Shevchenko.

I can see Val dominating in the clinch and control. I really do not see Zhang taking more than one round. Easier for Val to make adjustments and she has a much more well-rounded arsenal to bring to bear.

I feel like Jennifer Maia only won a round because Valentina tried deliberately to beat Jennifer at her own game.
 
Against the likes of Maia, Eye and Carmouche etc yeah, you put Zhang against all Valentinas opponents and I'm pretty sure she'd beat them too.

The common opponent they had in JJ, Zhang did far more damage in 5 rounds than Valentina did over 2 sports.

Obviously I'm more a fan of Zhang so take my opinion with that in mind. But Valentina lost her title shot at 135 then ducked to a smaller less stacked division. She's also ducking Nunes like the plague currently.

Your post has some questionable statements:
1. Shev gave JJ a beating, Weili won a controversial split decision.
2. Shev fought Nunes twice, it a very close split decision loss on the second fight. Are you claiming she is ducking a third fight?
Check out Shev after the JJ fight.

I don't think she'll "run over" Zhang, but it's hard for me to see it as a realistically winnable fight for her.

Valentina regularly gets asked when she'll fight Nunes again and always deflects. Lately the excuse being its such a big fight it has to be in front of a crowd, clearly not gonna happen any time soon.

The pics don't really mean much though, both fights were very different. Zhang made it a brawl, Shev grappled more.

Shevchenko defeated Joanna much more soundly. She shut Joanna out, I believe.
 
What were Holly vs Ronda odds? This can’t be worse than that
 
Shevchenko is criminally overrated on here. Zhang could definitely take her, she's faster and hits hard, has a legit groundgame too. Size is against her though.

What brain dead planet do you come from? There's a strong argument for her being the p4p best female fighter.

And, no, there is basically zero chance Valentina loses to Weili.
 
I agree but think Shev wins it 9 / 10. Shev is considerably bigger, remember she lost a razor thin split decision to the woman's GOAT Nunes. Also, Shev gave JJ a beating, Weili won a controversial split decision.
