Most didn’t think Manon Fiorot would be a good test for the greatest in the land, Valentina Shevchenko. Most were expecting a one sided fight. Manon proved she was worthy of a title fight.
Manon went all five rounds. The commentators were saying the fight was close. DC said it was going to be a split decision.
In round one Valentina took Manon down and bloodied her up. She broke her nose. Rounds 2 and 3 Manon was able to get a takedown and push Valentina up against the fence.
In the end of round 4 we saw Valentina get the best of the striking as well as a takedown. Round five seemed to be Valentina’s. However going into a decision you never know.
Valentina Shevchenko defeated Manon Fiorot to win a UD on all three cards. How did you score the fight? Who should Valentina Shevcenko take on next?
Manon just tried to hold her and do nothing once she realized Val was far better standing as well as the better grappler.
I’m glad the judges were paying attention. So often they’re not
Doubt she goes to 135 as they are building up Kayla vs Nunes
125 is a fun division as far as girls go with some up and coming talent… Fiorot will likely get one more shot at some point but needs to work her way back up.
Natalie Silva looks great and should be in line for next title shot
Weili could move up and do champ vs champ
J. Judavicious or however you spell it is looking good, and then you got winner of Blanchfield and Barber. IDK how to match them all up but you could have 3-4 new title challengers in next 18 months for the title.
Bruh, why did you share this, this was a shit fight, the only saving grace of this main card was the main event. It was one of the best championship figths this is, if not the best
Don’t think jasmine is athletic enough for Valentina.
IMO only Silva and blanchfield have a good shot.
Valentina kicks so much that if Erin just keeps trying she’ll get top at some point and Erin is vicious on top.
Silva can maybe circle away on the fence and keep kicking a steal a decision like volk just did.
