Why Doesn't Antonina Shevchenko Fight At Bantamweight?

[EmaciatedBarber]

Whats the relationship like between the two sisters?Have there been any interviews discussing upbringing and the background they came up in?I love sherdog because every retarded detail of these fighters life and drama is dissected ...where the fuck is the psychologist deep dive/freudian explanation of the shevchenko sisterhood of travelling sports bras?

I don’t know whether to be proud or ashamed that I got your sisterhood of traveling sports bra reference

 

[Kono dio da!]

Quite good. It used to be terrible, but she's really improved it in her last few fights. She finished Lucie Pudilova with a rear naked choke and Pudilova's never been finished in a fight.

Maycee barber should fight her one day

Maycee gets clipped in every fight; I think Antonina would knock her out cold. Roxanne really exposed Maycee, but Maycee is still young and has a lot of potential.

Could you imagine a fight with Antonina and Amanda Nunes? Everyone wants to see a trilogy fight with Valentina and Amanda, but I'd love to see Antonina Vs Amanda.

Wow really?? You must really not like Antonia, that would be a mauling and probably over in less than a minute

Nunes seems to struggle against Muay Thai fighters; GDR and Valentina had success against her on the feet. Antonina's a world class Muay Thai champion like they are, so I don't think Nunes would destroy her. Also, Antonina's Muay Thai clinch is brutal. Nunes doesn't want none of that.

I’m not sure if your joking or not. Nunes has beat Shevchenko twice and only lost one round to GDR recently. I certainly wouldn’t call that a “struggle”

All MMA siblings should be forced to fight each other.

Valentina/Antonina
Nick/Nate
Joe/Dan
Frank/Ken
Minotauro/Minotauro

 

[El Fernas]

That worry went out the window already, Valentina is safe.

 

[julmma]

She's physically pretty weak..

For a 135, that means, if she can cut to 125, there’s her right weight class.
And their philosophy is to not cut much, and to better do a proper diet.

She, Val and her team knows she gets destroyed at 135

This.

Just like islam and khabib Valentina will vacate the belt when her sister gets up in ranking

 

[Stranger Come Knocking]

Just like islam and khabib Valentina will vacate the belt when her sister gets up in ranking

I can see that happening. Something along the lines of: Valentina continues to dominate and by the time sister is ready for title contention, she moves back up. No more competition at 125, sister is up for title, avenge old losses to Nunes etc.

If she beats JoJo

Valentina beat Joanna in 2018.. Valentina's sister will never be a contender or title Challenger at 125, anytime soon, and doubt she can make 115.

Well, she even SAID EXACTLY THIS, when she was asked what would happen if her sister is next for the title.

 

[Limit Smasher]

Roxanne Modafferi beat the shit out of her at Flyweight. She doesn't stand a chance against the top Bantamweight females.

@Roxxo is a queen though and i love her.

 

[snackgod]

She's a big girl and she can't fight for belt at 125 because her sister is the champion, so it makes sense for her to move up in weight.

Also, I think she fought at a bigger weight class in Muay Thai, too.

it a really good question.

You want to witness live murder first hand murder in UFC, Valentina will never let her sister step into the octagon with Nunes so is Nunes to Nina

 

[winkydinks]

I never realized this, but she's actually older than Valentina. 35 to be exact, so any hopes of UFC gold are already gone.

I meant she struggled with them on the feet and she struggled to finish them. She's finished everyone else in dominant fashion, but she couldn't put GDR or Valentina away. Also, she didn't look as impressive against them on the feet as she did against her other opponents.
