Valentina Shevchenko via sub

 

[Pault1989]

I'll be rooting for both Shevchenko sisters on this card , I mean Antonina

 

[beephin]

FOTY no doubt

 

[JarlSkuld]

I feel like Maia has a shot. She has the right style to turn it into a dogfight, and Jennifer is tough to put away. Further, Maia always gets better as the fight goes on. With five rounds, I think she's a live dog to win a SD or even 3-2 UD. I know, it sounds crazy, but I don't think this is yet another case of another 125-pound challenger being sent to her execution (via Val). I think Val destroys Murphy, Lee, Calderwood, Roxy, Violence Queen, and Chook (not matter how much she improves)...but I just feel like Maia is the one woman in that division that has a decent chance (in the near future).

All I saw in the video was Mackenzie Dern using a fake Brazilian accent.

Heavy Chevy by a mile

Cool seeing the fighters' responses.

I look for Valentina obtaining clear victory via her speed and counter striking. If it gets to the ground Maia may have a chance. What we've seen of Val's grappling she looks great, like her submission of Pena. I like Maia's tenaciousness and will root for her as the underdog. Gotta go with Valentina.
