    Valentina is a class act. She embodies the meaning of MMA. The humbleness and the elegant way she carries herself makes her one if the most complete fighter in the world.... That being said, I hope Alexa can make it exciting, as she is one of my favorites as well.

    She's not a class act at all. She's disrespectful in victory and arrogant in defeat; and she still doesn't accept Grasso was the better fighter and won fair and square, she says Grasso got lucky. Plus, she fights with dishonorable moves: The whole fight threw headbutts every time she was pressured by Grasso and had her close, she did the same thing with Santos and broke her orbital bone with her head; and also eyepokes in the 3rd round, trying takedown after the bell sounded, and many more things. Valentina is cIasssIess

    Val said Rin Nikai only needs to get into top 10 to face Valentina in the octagon, yet Erin Blanchfield is #3 and Val still wants her to have one more fight or more because Erin is too " green". Why? Andrade only had one win at flyweight before facing Val, and Maia only had one victory also before facing Val, Erin has five consecutive wins at UFC flyweight, so who really looks green? Not Erin. If Val defeats Grasso, who does she expect to face next if not Erin? Manon is not and will not be ready anytime soon and Manon wanted one more fight before facing Val. Is Manon scared or green or what? All the other contenders below Erin, have already faced Valentina, we do not want to the same old competition, so why not Erin? Val has said she wants to keep busy, who does she expect to fight? I would think an easy fight with a "green" fighter would give her another ruby. Val just doesn't like being challenged and having her skills critiqued just doesn't sit right with her. Val doesn't like all the positive media attention Erin is receiving. The fact that Erin shows no fear and is confident also bothers Val. All those reporters asked soft questions, I wish someone would have asked some hard questions. I would have loved to see Val get bothered and upset. The fans want to see Blanchfield vs Shevchenko. What say you Val?

    Bruh Blanchfield got outstruck by JJ Aldrich's trash ass. Val is giving her more time to sharpen her tools. Both Santos rematch, Fiorot or Nunes trilogy are better fights then Blanchfield. If Blanchfield fights her right now, it's decimation. Maybe she can learn from another camp and fight, and bring a challenge to Shevchenko.

    Blanchfield couldn't do anything against Maverick on the ground, in the third round Maverick was winning the stand up fighting. She's not that good. She beat Andrade but Jessica beat her in the striking with a short notice to prepare. I doubt she can beat Fiorot and Santos would knock her out. She certainly wouldn't last with Shevchenko. Suraez just had her first fight after a long lay off, why should she fight her now until she moves up. Val beat Pena who's a good grappler and Andrade, do you really think your beloved Erin could beat Pena, Holly and stand 8 rounds with Nunes? That's why Blanchfield goes to the ground cause her stand up is in need of a lot of work.
