Who has better kicks than Shevchenko?

[SHAZAM]

Easy to throw flashy kicks with zero power. Same as having "great cardio" but not committing to anything. Sheeva is nowhere near best in MMA. WMMA? Yes. MMA? Hell no. Wouldn't recommend Any male to learn from her. You also can't compare 125 kicks to HW kicks. Sure, the small guys "look" more technical, but to me technical means it fucking works. HWs win. So let's meet somewhere in the middle. Probably a prime Also, Thompson, Barboza and CroCop. CCs are good regardless of weight and the fact he does it at HW is more impressive.

WMMA is a whole different sport. Sheeva and Joanna easily take it. All I know is Sheeva is severely overrated due to her no name competition. And similar to Gus, her claim to fame is losing close fights to GOATs.

 

[theTKDguy]

She's amazing but barboza

 

[CoyeWolfe]

if you think height = size you're clueless

If that's your excuse then let's talk about how Joanna has a size advantage over every SW she's fought.

 

[in the liver]

Holly has pretty good kicks.

definitely a case of "its what you do with it that counts"

 

[EXOICHO]

If that's your excuse then let's talk about how Joanna has a size advantage over every SW she's fought.

Height does not equal size. Zheng, Andrade and gadelha are bigger frames than joanna

 

[Strijfy]

I can easily name multiple male fighters with inferior kicking technique than either Shevchenko or Holly.

Cormier
Gustafsson
Maia
Hall
Askren

All of them can actually learn from Schevhenko.

Hall as in Uriah Hall? really ?

[FutureBwChamp]

Any male fighters, including ones who have never thrown a kick.

in terms of WMMA, then she is probably the best with Holm

Have you ever watched Dan Henderson or Mark Coleman throw a kick. Lol

 

[xhaydenx]

LOL no, Pro WMMA is very amateurish and low level fighting, many levels below male amateur MMA

If you trained for few years and threw kicks against cardio kickboxing classes people you would look amazing

Nah, WMMA is amateurish fighting, there is just too many new combat sports fan that don't understand what they are watching, her kicks may look good to you but its because she is fighting flat footed cardio kickboxing classes fighters who have very little skill and talent and are so uncoordinated. If she tried to kick male pro MMA fighters like that it would look so slow and awkward

Lol. What is this nonsense? If you think Askren or Maia have better striking technique than Val in any area then you're either a moron or know nothing about striking at all.

You keep saying WMMA striking is amateurish, but you do realize that not all male fighters have pro level striking just by default, yeah? Guys like Maia and Askren have amateurish striking themselves.

And it doesn't matter who Valentina is landing them on. Her kicks don't look good because of who she's landing them on, they look good because she knows what the fuck she's doing and is an elite striker.

Would you STFU? Most males in the ufc cant axe kick like Valentina, obviously they could learn a lot from her. Weak competition, shes beat former champions from higher weight classes Holly Holm and from a lower class Joanna. her claim to fame is being a ufc champion who's beaten other champions and defended her title, something gus never got close to. What an idiotic String of retarded comparisons, must be a butthurt Polish Joanne fan or something

 

[Willek]

Wrong ... tell Cormier to perform that spinning heel kick on a test dummy and it will not be as good Shevchenko's.

Stop being an ignorant sexist that can't handle knowing a woman can actually do something better than a man.

 

[LetThemBleed]

She can wrap dem legs around my neck any day and ko me on the bed sheets.

Getting KO'd by a chick is a pretty weird sexual fetish fam but you do you.

 

[LetThemBleed]

Hall as in Uriah Hall? really ?

You see that kick he landed in TUF? Was a thing of beauty. Fooled me into thinking the guy was going to be a real prospect at MW.

 

[stav]

Male MMA strikers..

Which ones specifically?

valentinas technique is spot on.

not many men in mma can excute her level of technique.

Barboza is the only one that comes to mind.

you and other posters are confusing technique with overall power.

of course 200lb men are going to generate more power even with poorer technique then a 125lb female.

It’s physics.

 

[s1ncity]

Dude. Relax. Sure she is an woman but there’s no way Masvidal is as technical. Neither are Hooker and Gaythje. She has zero telegraph, very accurate, ridiculous timing and good power.
She’s just leagues above her competition right now.

Shevchenko isn't even as skilled as someone like Tim Means

WMMA is just garbage

 

[PeacePipe]

Wonderboy but its tough to say. Bullet seems to get off a wider range of attacks with less time spent finding range, she might be the best martial artist as a whole right now

seems that way when her competition is trash

Wonderboy
McGregor
Aldo
Pettis
Overeem
Cowboy
Yair
Barboza
Israel adesanya
Anderson Silva
Machida

And many many new fighters i forget the names.

Its more harder to shine in the deeper and way more agressive dangerous male divisions.

 

[Buff]

Adlan Amagoev had a wicked spinning body kick.
