Valentina Shevchenko's popularity

[TerraRayzing]

Statistically, she is one of the most dominant champions in UFC history but the only time she is relevant now is a week before her fight. Idk what went wrong. When she had those close fights with Amanda, she was fairly popular (for WMMA standards) and regarded as skilled and decently exciting but damn, most of her past few fights were dull and her popularity from the Amanda fights and her initial run as champion just disappeared.
Like hell, even DJ was regarded and acknowledged much more than she is nowadays.

Its pretty universally accepted that she's is one of the female MMA GOATS. I was pulling hard for her last night.

 

[Ube]

Blame the promoter

 

[XociDe]

WMMA needs to die

As a new-ish fan, I've never enjoyed a Shevchenko fight or her personality in general. I still have respect for her achievements, though.

[Dreyga Hates You Sherbums]

I was a bar last night watching the fights with a bunch stranger every single one them not only knew who she was but was pulling for her to win the fight.

I woul say that she is actually very well known and popular in the MMA community.

Weird you were pulling it hard during her fights

MMA fans are fairweather and they don’t know what they want. Complain about stars and fighters popularity but when a great one comes along we as a MMA fans do nothing but diminish them do everything we can to bring them down. It’s frustrating, because the fingers are pointed elsewhere when in reality all the fans need to do is stare at a mirror.

I’ve heard she’s huge in Rhode Island

Besides Ronda Rousey, no other female fighter is ever too popular anyways

 

[MDoza]

She’s such a bad dancer that I can’t support her.

Don’t worry about others brother…you go ahead and keep lusting over her.

 

[Dr. Rose]

Interesting choice of words

 

[El Fernas]

Great fighter but thats it, no surprise she isnt popular, also used to alternate stinkers with good fights, i thought she was going to lose this one by being past her prime but she did great, vintage Shevchenko vibes.

One Sherbro was pulling it on his own, this dude has to one up him by pulling hard with a bunch of other dudes in a bar.

Not that there's anything wrong with that

Hyperbole aside you are definitely on the right track. Staring at the mirror and self analysis is a bridge to far for most

Too tentative and takes zero risk, kinda like Izzy in most of his later fights. She’s obviously more skilled and talented than her opponents but she fails to demonstrate that.
