Would Weili vs Shevchenko Be Competitive?

[bogeyj]

aside from Amanda Nunes and Germaine De Randemie, I think Weili would be her most competitive fight in the UFC. They actually match up quite well. Weili may be the only strawweight who could hold her own and wouldn't get completely bullied in the grappling department.

how do you think this fight would go? a total massacre or would Zhang make it interesting?

 

[Ice Hotel]

No, it'd be a one sided beating by Shevchenko

Tatiana Suarez however I do see giving Shevchenko some problems

Gadelha would be interesting as well, though I still see Shevchenko soundly winning, but still interesting nonetheless

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Zhang got knocked out by Rose in a minute flat.

Valentina would massacre her

 

[Arkham's Notorious Geyser]

I thought that was made ABUNDANTLY clear when she faced Rose whose essentially Val's little cousin in crime and former sparring partner...

If you need me to spell it out for you.

 

[cambo78]

Competitive in the most lopsided compubox scores, yes.

 

[Brother Numsi]

Valentina would pick her apart over 5 rounds

Weili is a tough little chick but if Thug Rose can touch that chin with a kick, one of the most technical WMMA fighters of all time sure can as well.

 

[Tyrannosaurus rex]

No, I think Valentina takes it fairly easily. Possibly a finish.

I don't see anyone at 125 or 115 beating Valentina. And probably only Nunes at 135.

 

[Kyojiro Kagenuma]

Valentina would pick her apart over 5 rounds

Weili is a tough little chick but if Thug Rose can touch that chin with a kick, one of the most technical WMMA fighters of all time sure can as well.

She is the most technical female fighter of all time

 

[HHJ]

I think it would be a tougher fight for Val then you guys are letting on

 

[djacobox372]

At this point, no woman under 145lbs will be competitive against Val.

 

[Kryptt]

Think it would be a fun match but Val is a few steps ahead of pretty much everyone.

 

[midorathirdtiger]

If jennifer Maia can take a round off Val, Weili can take a couple. I would say val still soundly wins until Weili shows me otherwise

 

[sfer1]

Valentina would destroy her. Weili's only hope against Rose is to impose her physical strength, because she's technically far inferior. She wouldn't even have that against Valentina, who's freakishly strong for her size. Valentina would beat her everywhere.

 

[KingBarbozaGOAT]

Shevchenko is better everywhere

 

[jitzmonkey]

Zhang Weili against a fast fighter with amazing footwork and an expert ability at controlling distance?

Sure, might work out well for her.

 

[akproplayer]

Noone except Nunes can hang.

I love how getting a r1 KO makes sherdoggers think that will happen every time. Im not saying Zhang will win Saturday or that she would beat Val but to think because she got ko'd means she has nothing is so dumb. Thats like saying because a hitter hit a homerun, everytime he faces that pitcher he will hit a homerun. Just ridiculous, I think given her size and her ability to stand with someone like Joanna I think Zhang would give Val more of a problem then Rose ever could

 

[Ahem]

I think Shev would pick her apart and TKO by 3rd round. Zhang is too undisciplined and will just eat too many shots (IMO). She will try to make it a brawl and Shev will dodge, counter, and land cleanly (or perhaps dodge, duck, dive, dip, and dodge). By round 3 I would guess the cumulative damage will have taken effect, and then a clean power shot drops Zhang to the mat where she's GnP'd to stoppage.

TL/DR - Shev fucks her up.

beating my Shevchenko

Careful you might go blind

The de Randamie idea has some merit.
