I actually think it will be easier because she's not worried about takedowns. She's fighting a girl that WANTS to stand with her. I don't think that ends well.This was awesome! While I am familiar with Valerie's record/past opponents, I didn't know the stories behind those fights, or her struggles with severe injuries. Even though JJ is my pick, I've said from the beginning that Valerie will be JJ's toughest title fight to date.
100% amped for this fight ...

This isn't a resume contest. We're talking about Moroz and Rakoczy, and no one thinks JJ would have a problem with either.Valerie Letourneau out struck a boxing world champ and an Olympic boxing trainer. At the least she should be competitive with JJ.
She's also a purple belt in BJJ. It wouldn't surprise me if she went for a take down at some point in the fight.

Why do you think JJ would have no problem with Moroz? Just because JJ dominated some blown up atomweights it doesn't mean she will beat everyone in the division.
