Valentina Shevchenko has an air of confidence around her. This confidence comes from her ability to destroy any opponent she faces. However, Shevchenko might’ve met her match for her upcoming fight. The UFC has drawn an exciting women’s fight after a long time and pitted two of the most feisty women in the promotion against each other. The women’s flyweight fans couldn’t ask for anything better. However, many supporters felt Shevchenko cannot be stopped by any contender at this rate. But, maybe this talent has the best shot that anyone’s ever had.

  • I wouldn’t mess with any of them
  • I’ve been watching grasso fight for a while and she’s good but I don’t think she’s ready for this.
  • Grasso shocks the world and defeats Valentina
  • Running out of women to fight her!
  • RIP Alexa you will be missed
  • Why isn’t Manon Fiorot not getting a title shot? She is on a 10 Winning streak! Her last lost was in 2018 on her debut fight. She is also the number 1 contender?
  • Too soon…big fan of both.
  • This card is about to be
  • More meat for the grinder. Something special is going to have to come along to beat Valentina.
  • Love Grasso….she isn’t winning this
  • This is potentially good for Valentina. She can get some confidence back after her last fight.

Therefore, many fans agreed that Grasso wouldn’t be able to take on ‘The Bullet’ and live to tell the tale. However, few loyal supporters of Grasso felt she could surprise everyone on the big night. Even podcaster Joe Rogan once revealed his contender for the women’s flyweight title.
