I love this fight. Technical chess match. I think Valentina is the physically bigger woman and that helped her out muscle Joanna in many of the exchanges but Joanna got her licks in. That head kick she landed was beautiful. Knowing that Shevchenko would dip off to her left to avoid a straight punch Joanna capitalized on it and landed that beautiful head kick. Love both of these ladies.
@DarkJediFarkas 2 жыл бұрын
You know that Shevchenko is actually not really the bigger woman, Joannas natural walk weight is around 140, Valentinas is around 133lbs if she eats what she wants. Joanna Jedrzejcyk is actually also a natural Flyweight and they did fight three times for in Muay Thai Championships before, which Valentina Shevchenko all won.
@levity90 2 жыл бұрын
@@DarkJediFarkas joanna has a thinner frame than Val. I agree she's better at flyweight but she's not as muscular or stocky as Val is. Valentina could never make 115. Valentina is without a doubt the physically stronger woman and even when they fought in muay Thai valentina won using her takedowns and dumps. Which is basically how she won their title bout in MMA.

The size difference definitely played in Valentina's favor, but Joanna went the distance against arguably the best female fighter in the world. I know she has drawn quite some criticism with her "heel character," but Joanna remains one of the most exciting and talented women in the UFC. I hope she'll be able to regain the strawweight belt before she retires.

Valentina S is predominantly a counter-puncher so her fights can be less exciting when she has an opponent who is not coming after her. Joanna J has always been a non-stop forward-moving aggressor so that made this fight very dynamic. Big respect to JJ for moving UP a wt-class and lasting all 5 rounds. Valentina was moving DOWN a wt-class. A lot of bigger girls could not go 5 rounds with VAL like JJ did here. Lastly, on a personal note, I like that JJ does not have all those crappy tatoos on her body like so many fighters have these days.
