Media Valentina explains why she fought like that

[Geniusss]

She is basically saying she couldn't let Alexa do anything so the judges couldn't give Alexa the win in any way since she knew they wanted her to win because they made that card for the Mexicans and ofc they wanted the only Mexican champion in the card to win, she basically tried to say that if she made it an exciting fight they would have found the way to give it to the Mexican fighter somehow like they did last time when they had to give Alexa a non-existance 10-8 round so they could make it a draw because it was the Mexican Independence day

I lay and pray so she no get win.

 

[svmr_db]

Well her plan certainly worked & there's no interest in a fourth fight now lol.

 

[BigSexy444]

Alexa can't keep the fighting standing for even one round out of five. She deserved the L. Great feet though.

 

[Shaolin Alan]

Valentina lurks in Sherdog, confirmed!!

P.S. If her plan was for me to fall asleep and miss O'Malley getting wrastled to a living death, then it worked. Bravo

Yep.

Hate the game, not the player. Just say that much

 

[Senzo Tanaka]

It wasn't sure exciting but it was good fight IQ and she dominated her. It left no questions who the was better/more complete fighter. I agree with ze decision to fight zis way.

 

[Kowboy On Sherdog]

Should have given Alexa the Bas / Randleman decision

 

[Söze Aldo]

If she really believed that silly idea, why wasn't her gameplan to go for a finish/ko then to totally take the judgers out of the equation?

 

[DanDragon Machi]

Lol the only reason the second fight was exciting was because Alexa defend some takedowns, the fight it only became great in the moments when Alexa get out of Valentina's systematic boring game. All the chaos in that fight was due to Alexa Grasso who she was much more objective and actually determined to finish the fight when she was in a dominant position. If it were up to Valentina, all the rounds would be exactly the same as the first, as was the case in the third fight.

Valentina questioning the referees' honesty even after winning and ending this story sounds kind of pathetic

Only sport where you get critisized for 50-45 winning all rounds vs a champion. Why wouldn´t she take the belt and wrestle, if it works.

 

[El Panteron]

Because she weighs like 60kgs, you don't plan to finish at that weight, if you manage you manage and if you don't you don't. At one point she tried to get the crucifix, she finished 3 fights like that, but she didn't get it.

It definitely isn't the only sport. Every single sport has competitors who are succesful but get critisized for being boring.

Which doesn't make the critisism more valid, but it's certainly not an MMA exclusive thing.

 

[ArtardFiesta]

i persnally thought alexa won 2 of the rounds do to her subs. in pride they woudl have given her the fight.

 

[HHJ]

[The Blue Bird]

I really wanted to win so I made it boring

 

[RockyLockridge]

Well duh.

REMINDER:

 

[SuperNerd]

I know it's real simple and easy for posters to giggle and call Val a lay and prayer suddenly.

But Grasso was credited with 2... two, submission attempts. So who was the one gripping on desperately to limbs and praying for something? Girl was just pulling guard and holding on

"lol Grasso is still alive, not really an impressive fight"
