POLL: Does Weili vs Valentina POLL: Decide the Real Female GOAT?

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

Alright Sherbums, I gotta ask—if Zhang Weili and Valentina Shevchenko ever fight, does that matchup finally settle who the real queen of women’s MMA is?

Everybody hands Amanda Nunes the GOAT title, and yeah, her résumé is crazy. Ronda, Cyborg, Holm, Valentina (barely). But if we’re being honest, skill for skill, I think Weili and Valentina might be operating on a higher level.

Valentina’s basically a machine. Her precision, timing, and IQ are unreal. When she’s on, it looks like she’s sparring. Then there’s Weili—she’s evolved into an absolute monster. She outclassed Lemos in every single department, outworked Suarez, and she’s developed elite wrestling and ground control to go with her striking. She’s fast, powerful, technical, and fights like every second matters.

And I’ll say this with confidence: Weili has faced tougher competition at 115 than Amanda did at 135 or 145. It’s just that her opponents—Lemos, Xiaonan, Suarez—don’t have the same “big name” status. But make no mistake, skill for skill, those girls are every bit as dangerous as anyone Amanda fought. The strawweight division is the most technically sound division in WMMA.

So what happens if Weili beats Valentina? Does she become the new GOAT? Or does Valentina take that crown if she wins? Because right now, it feels like Amanda has the résumé… but Weili and Valentina have the skill.

What do you Sherbums think?

 

[Luthien]

Rose > Weili

 

[RockyLockridge]

Shevchenko yeah, but Weili no. Weili would have to do a bit more after.

Shevchenko's run is pretty legendary. If she beats weili then natalia silva, she's wrapped the game up. She could rematch fiorot as well for the fuck of it.

 

[smalliebiggs]

Rose > Weili

Esparza > Rose

 

[SuperNerd]

Too many words

The answer is Shev

 

[Shaolin Alan]

They’ll say Valentina got old, after Weili pieces her up and drops her

 

[oski]

Cut the girls. They fuck up the show, they ruin the flow, they aren't that talented or entertaining, and the fans would be light years better off.

 

[Only Here for Attachments]

Valentina is still 0-2 against Amanda and Willy Jong is 0-2 against Rose.

 

[RockyLockridge]

They’ll say Valentina got old, after Weili pieces her up and drops her

And they'll be right. she's on her second title run off her career and she's 37 years old in her 13th consecutive title fight.

 

[Kung Fu Kowboy]

Nunes and Shev are 1A and 1B

 

[flektarn]

Weili doesn't get to be in the conversation yet. Or maybe ever tbqh.

 

[magpie878]

"If they ever fight" sounds like some fantasy booking idea.. you know this is booked, correct?

 

[chinarice]

Rose > Weili

Which is strange because when I watch them fight other people, Weili is clearly the better fighter.

 

[Pequeño Corey]

Cyborg smashes both in the same night, imo.

It's not her fault that WFW has always been trash across multiple promotions. But still, belts in 5 promotions ain't nothing, ya know?

Pro debut jitters aside, Amanda is the only person to ever beat her.

 

[Lee Danger]

idk who's the goat but the best female fighter that i saw fighting is Rose.

5 belts in empty divisions… Who is the most skilled person Cyborg beat? Her opponents pale in comparison to Val and Weili’s

Only the girls who beat Amanda and Kayla But yea you right man, she beat nothing but cans

 

[Mike]

Hahaha no. For that to be the case a win would have to hypothetically put Weilli above Nunes all time and not just no, but hell no omfg lmfao no etc.

 

[jeff7b9]

First off no

But also.. no.


I'll explain.

Shev hasn't caught Nunes yet. And Weili ain't even in that conversation. So... no.

But also... Weili has done MAYBE half of what Shev has done
A) at the championship level
B) overall in her career
C) Thru combat sports
D) in multiple divisions.

Shev was a force at 135 even being way undersized and only lost to the 135/145 GOAT, who many believe she edged in a Razor close fight.

Nah.

But also... hell no.

Like.... not even close.

 

[sonhow]

Not quite—top 2 or 3 maybe. Let’s not rewrite history yet, Sherbums. Amanda’s résumé is still carryi​

would be my answer even with a risk that the cut out part is something crazy
