It was real before too. She just been long enough to have other fighters catch up and find points where they can capitalise. Also she's 35 too. Not a spring chicken anymore so it gets tough.
She's a pure assassin, just the way she carries herself, she speaks, the state of mind. She's a killer and she know's her target and hates not hitting it
Shes so good, but this does seem a bit out of character for her. I can see her either steamrolling Grasso... or getting beat again and its the end of her career. Not in a bad way, shes given so much of herself to Combat Sports... but I slightly favor Grasso to win.
I really hope we see that. She's so calculated barely risking anything, so it'd be fun if she tries her hardest aggressively like she could, with a fast finish.
Its amazing recency bias with you fickle fans and media just forgetting how great Valentina is. Shes going to finish grasso inside 3 rounds. Bookmark this comment and come back after saturday
The loss was needed...Nice wake up call after so much time on the throne...im sure Valentina has sharpened her game, reawakening her ultra competitive drive, Part 2 will be much different.
@@dickmonddickelheimer9452 mines beat her twice, nunes knocked out cyborg, she knocked out Holly Holm, she knocked out rousey, beat meisha she's not overrated
She is so full of herself! Unlike others, Alexa will not be surprised! Valentina thinks that boasting about the trip to Thailand is going to intimidate Alexa, but that will not at all be the case! I predict Valentina will get KO this time!
@user-dr3io9fr7g my favorite fighters have accepted their losses and given their opponents their credit and respect. Also the reason it pushed them to overcome that loss and win the rematch. Izzy is a man child. He and his team arrogant.
It worries me when fighter start talking like this. It usually means they are overcompensating. Izzy was going to destroy Sean. Usman was going to destroy Edwards. I think Valentina is the better fighter but Alexa might be in her head.
I watched a little bit about Alexa's Journey, the relationship with her father etc, it was very emotional because you could really tell what this belt and this sport means to her, and how hard she had worked for this moment, so it's a weird feeling for me, because you don't know who to root for, I like both Alexa and Valentina, so come September 16th, may the best warrior win 💪🏆
Valentina has the eye of the tiger. She got the edge back after tasting defeat. I like Grasso but she's fighting a different person on Saturday. I predict a R4 TKO.
Win or lose Valentina is already a legend of the sport.. seven title defenses in five years, beat Ronda's record and is for sure a candidate for UFC's Hall of Fame in the future.. I'm really looking forward to that fight. Alexa is working hard for this too and it's gonna be a good fight for the fans for sure..
Valentina is so nice in person but a beast in the cage and she's a good shooter. Wouldn't be surprised if she's some spy assassin as her full time job 😂
@@Adontheimperfectionist NAme one thing that Valentina has chnaged in her game? Predictable spinning back kicks? sloppy ground game when faced with Talia who exposed her
Good Luck Shevy , make sure you keep your fluidity , cause from there comes your speed and the vision, Maybe stay off the spinning shots and have that movement where you are fast , your last fight , you were less in movement, you were a little to abrasive , kind of not keeping the motion , keep Moving , Both should have a great fight , Fan.
Wow, and that is exactly why VS will lose this rematch in even far worse conditions. Through rd 3 AG had landed more per compubox. VS was gassed AF at end of rd 3 from getting hit and not being able to control AG, energy spent. Yea she took her down but did nothing, no damage. AG made her work and neutralized her bc AG is stronger. AG did more damage to VS in rd 1 than Taila did in 5 and Amanda did in the entire 2d fight, let that sink in. In rd 4 AG cranked it up on her because she was in far superior shape cardio wise than VS. VS crumbled down easily because she was done. And no it wasnt a mistake lol, VS always does that to create space and alllll the others reared back, not Alexa. VS is too stubborn to improve and her adamant behavior is proof of this and unless she was born again she isnt gonna change in terms of power and cardio in 3 mos at 34 yrs old. But you can bet AG did and is great coming out of Lobo Gym, proof is she made an in fight adjustment to stuff her takedowns and that aint easy versus a VS. AG is alot stronger than fools think, VS knows this and Im glad AG told her back because that shut down VSs misplaced arrogance. Had she not, VS would have kept on and many people are like this in real life. IF VS cant take her down and even if she does she cant do sht, then what? She aint beating her in standup for sure, AG cracks alot harder than her and will have cardio for a 10 rounder. Always been a huge fan of VS but her attitude of denial and disrespect to AG is gonna prove to be a liability come Saturday. Semper Fidelis
Interesting comment, I want to say though that we have another VS on Saturday, who has taken the time to reassess, she is well surrounded, and very intelligent. Of course AG has taken the belt for very firm reasons the 1st time.
Valentina is the epitome of a beautiful woman inside and out. I can only dream of being with a woman of this caliber. I can imagine us taking walks on the beach whilst holding hands as the sun gently sets. I would try to make her smile and she would laugh at my corny jokes lol. I can imagine being there and rubbing her feet after a tough win or brutal loss. I can imagine dropping to one knee and asking for her hand in marriage; we would spend the rest of our days together side by side. Much ♥️ from India
She never gave Nunes credit in both of her losses. She just says Nunes isn’t skilled just big and strong. But even Holm is bigger than Nunes and Val beat her
Man, you all need to understand people that acheive true greatness often have delusional levels of confidence. You people that have a problem with that, that she's not being "humble" are just sad that she won't just give up, thereby giving you the permission to be OK with how easily you give up and be "humble".
Hopefully she adjusted to Grasso going south paw. When Grasso switched to south paw Val was having problems. Like both of these women so I hard to pick between them.
She did adjust and began to out strike and grapple Grasso for the rest of the fight up until the submission. She used a simple quick jab to nullify Grasso boxing skill set.
@@deepthoughts1739 re watch the fight again. Grasso stand up was slicker than Val, turned her into a wrestler. Which is wild, Val didn’t have an answer for Alexa’s 1,2 and forced that spin attack.
@@sproutzer Not so. A simple jab down the pipe was the answer. She made Grasso miss a lot of punches and nullified her boxing through the fight. Also, How did Grasso turn her to a wrestler in a “MMA” fight. That doesn’t make any sense, to be honest. This ain’t boxing my friend. Wrestling is apart of MMA, correct? Why are you all criticizing her versatility when that’s what every fighter in the UFC should be aiming for. Again, it’s MMA, not boxing. Also, Valentina has always implemented her wrestling skills in her fights since she was the champion. Even when it was clear that she could out strike her opponent, she mixed it up like a Mixed Martial Artist suppose to. Also, Grasso had begun to over extend herself with her punches and Valentina took advantage of her with takedowns. If you don’t respect MMA for what it really is, you shouldn’t comment on a fighter doing what they should do in moments of the fight. Give the woman some credit for her multifaceted skill sets.
This is interesting..its look like she is pissed off..and she wants it mad..she may over commit..if grasso hang 2 rounds undamaged..its gonna be tricky
It's actually a good time when all the dominant champions now have to deal with real competition, it shows the level of MMA is growing.
When you age above 34 its tough
@@SunilS-bb8nnIt's a bit of both. Santos and Grasso are so much better than every one of Shev's other title defenses.
@@Eyeofthetiger69 shevchenko is the only one who did not have a scar against amanda nunes in her prime
It was real before too. She just been long enough to have other fighters catch up and find points where they can capitalise.
Also she's 35 too. Not a spring chicken anymore so it gets tough.

I like Alexa, but Valentina is my favorite WMMA fighter. I want to see her get her belt back. Let's go Valentina!
She's a pure assassin, just the way she carries herself, she speaks, the state of mind. She's a killer and she know's her target and hates not hitting it

We love Valentina
Yes we do
That belt that Dana got made for this card looks insane. One of a kind, very rare and no one will have it except the champ
Valentina is so genuine it’s pure magic. Greatest thing that ever happened to women’s MMA in UFC💥
I disagree, she can’t even accept her loss just like Ronda did.
Let’s see if lose again that would be more shocking
@@terrellewilliams2188 it will be interesting but I trust in Valentina
Go go go Valentina Shevchenko for the win do your best...
This fight will show the world if Valentina has lost a step or if she will rise up like the dominant champ from prior
How can anyone not love her , she is the greatest
We gonna forget about Nunes? Valentina is easily #2 but she not the GWOAT

Such a savage she's going to put Grasso in a body bag
Did you not see that first fight. Grasso turned her into a wrestler. Grasso standup was slicker than Val’s.
In my world Grasso and Schevchenko aren't fighting for the belt, they're fighting for who gets my last name.
With that energy, you’d end up taking her last name.

Yeah right Valentina gonna take her down over and over and drown her. It sucks but you know Valentina is gonna do it.
The greatest flyweight of all time
She looks so focused and dangerous .....It must be good fight and she will make an statement..
Did she ever give Grasso her credit? I remember she couldn't accept the fact that she lost which made people root against her in this rematch lol
No, she keeps calling her a chance fighter. Could be her downfall.
I mean you don’t expect Izzy to accept the fact he lost to Strickland right? Or any of your other fav fighters? Lmao
grasso should win the rematch. the new champs have been lately..
@user-dr3io9fr7g my favorite fighters have accepted their losses and given their opponents their credit and respect. Also the reason it pushed them to overcome that loss and win the rematch. Izzy is a man child. He and his team arrogant.
No - Valentina has shown herself to be a sore loser.
Very nice of Valentina to say that she would love to celebrate Día de Independencia with Mexico 🇲🇽 ❤
Pero el cinturón, hay que ganarlo, Vale!
Let's go Bullet From KYRGYZSTAN 🇰🇬
Valentina is absolut awesome, big Respekt, great attitude!!!!
It Would be very fun to watch if aggresive Valentina got countered by just one Punch from Alexa and the sended her to sleep for the first time.
A well spoken intelligent woman. Love to see it
Lived in Thailand for the whole camp. Speaking Thai all the time. Pretty amazing lady, I have to admit.
interesting, thats when you know!@@DoubtingThomas333
Ya I hope she actually goes after Alexis and doesn't just sit back and wait to counter like she usually does.
It worries me when fighter start talking like this. It usually means they are overcompensating. Izzy was going to destroy Sean. Usman was going to destroy Edwards. I think Valentina is the better fighter but Alexa might be in her head.
The most under talked about fighter in the UFC.
But not underpaid, rest assured. Dana has a thing for paying women well

I think Grasso beats her again and I would like to see Grasso beat her. But if Valentina is aggressive it might not work for her.
It's great to see Amandas daughter try and reclaim her title.
Valentina is a Metal Gear Solid character
I’m rooting for Alexa Grasso
So much respect to Valentina but I’m all in for Grasso and the Mexican spirit to win.
Go get her Valentina , the bullet is coming for her belt
What bullet?
Why is this a fight night?

She's dressed as Sonya Blade here, fyi.
Jeeeezzzzz if Bullet is saying that..I think the Eye KO will look gentle compared to it.
The way her coach destroys valentina and her sister.
Valentina is one of the greatest MMA fighters, but she no longer dominates. We'll see what Alexa Grasso can do.
ANDDDDDD NEW!!!!!
Marc Raimondi is like 5 feet 4 in
Age catching up on her, she didn't look as sharp aa she used to be... Let's see how this one goes, still think Alexa has that edge
Id like her to win, providing no cringe dance
Someone is SALTY
Grasso is in her head
But an angry Valentina is scary ngl
I see all the 'gambling experts' picking Grasso. those moferks are INSANE

The UFC cover curse going to continue this Saturday
Russians are the last group of people it doesn’t work on. Naijas lost their immunity last week.
Grasso is a fluke champ. Valentina will get that belt back very quickly.
