Jessica Andrade will defeat Valentina Shevchenko

[Joseph_McBride]

Maia, who struggles to make 125, barely got 1 takedown. But Andrade, who never missed weight at 115, is going to takedown Valentina at will? Get real.

I’ve noticed Valentina likes to pull back on punches and counter, but sometimes gets hit with a 2nd or 3rd punch after the initial pull back.

Just something to think about.

she faced a better, bigger version in Nune and negated pretty much everything that nunes threw at her - without the size difference Val convincingly beats nunes (a lot of fans think she s 1-1 with Nunes).

I dont think she means to outdo people at their own game,she is just good everywhere and uses all her tools to disrupt her opponents and keep em thinkin

Exactly, if you can keep em thinking and second guess everything they doing you are winning the fight. As you said shes just so good everywhere that it comes naturally for her to do it.

Its amazing to think a smaller fighter like Val keeps Nunes at bay,and you see nunes rampage through 145s like paper

Not saying that it matters, but Maia has shitty takedowns. she averages 0.3 per 15 minutes. Andrade averages 3.11 takedowns per 15 minutes, while facing better fighters across multiple 135lbs, 115lbs, and now 125lbs.

Valentina almost beat Nunes

Yeah, almost.

What does that do. I almost won the lottery. Missed by 1 number.

She loses standing and on the ground!

Uh, no. Go look at her footwork and movement in the 2nd Rose fight. She lost, but lets not pretend she wouldn't have lost that over 5 rounds. She can move. She's only a plodding brawler when it suits her.

Maia is much, much more of a plodding brawler than Andrade, and she's also not as strong, and yet, she was able to completely nullify Valentina with her grappling for a whole round.

If Maia, who isn't really as good as Andrade anywhere, can do that to Valentina for at least 1 round, what's to say Andrade can't do it for 2-3?

Maia has the size and reach to at least shortly impose her strength advantage on Shev. Adrade is just too short for that at 125. She will get picked apart from the outside like Joana picked her apart.
Rose is very inconsistent and she's also considerably smaller than Valentina.

Andrade is gonna expose Shevchenko in there fight, I believe Andrade takes Shevchenko down at will and dominates her..

You were saying?

Looks like he got the names backwards.

Perhaps just a little.
