@@ashleytamara2679 Even if that were true, which it isn’t, a losing skid refers to a streak of multiple losses in a row. There was over 5 years and 9 wins between the second Nunes fight and the first Grasso fight. That’s not a “skid” by any definition.

It kinda is unlike when she lost to Amanda and got right back to winning. a few months later.... This time she hasn't had a win since Jun 11 2022...or almost 2 years... Not a career end er by any means what so ever...but def a skid in her career...
I think Valentina is awesome the way she is.
Better opponents and got older. Wear and tear slows down reaction time. Shes still awesome

The only thing that happened to Valentina is age, & her competition got better because they HAD to, to rise to the standard she set, kicking the crap out of everybody...but Amanda. She is still the greatest female fighter ever, due to her championships in 2 weight classes, & being such a class act, & amazingly beautiful femine lady ass-kicker!

@@DakonBlackblade2 The only legit loss Amanda ever had was to Kat Zingano, & that was about as close to death Amanda has ever come. There's no question she beat Valentina in the 1st fight, but the 2nd figh I felt belonged to Val. It was an amazing fight nonetheless.
I like to use the term Hybrid individual when talking about people well versed in many aspects of life. I am a former professional MMA fighter, martial artist, an engineer, a dancer and a competitive chess player. Valentina is my favorite female fighter because of how amazing she is. She won my heart when I heard he speak Spanish fluently. She is gorgeous and incredibly talented.
losing skid? She has lost 1 fight.
The woman get better because of her. that's what makes you the best.
One correction: Valentina started out studying TaeKwondo, not Karate. She is currently holds a 2nd dan in Tae Kwon Do, which she started at age 5. When she was 12, she also began studying Muy Thai kickboxing.
She did not lose her last fight.

It's kind of lame that you 'click-bait' the title of this video to give the impression that something untoward happened to Valentina causing her to spiral downhill. It's also too bad that you didn't go into more depth describing her UFC losses because fighting someone bigger isn't easy and if you looked carefully at the second fight with Amanda , Valentina won and the case with the Grasso rematch was the same , Valentina won that one also. I was hoping to hear something further about Grasso having taken PED's for that fight . Despite being treated unfairly, Valentina continues without any complaint like the class athlete she is. I hope she beats Grasso the third time and retires and goes on to be Jane Bond in the movies. She would be very successful . She is one of the greatest fighters to ever perform in the Octagon and a credit to the sport.

I thought so too. I didn't like either of the decisions vs nunes. I thought the 1st fight was pretty clear she won. 2nd fight was closer, I don't feel she lost.
Thank you - a small but relevant point of correction I believe: Through her mum, Valentina initially started in 'Tae Kwon Do' (ITF) - not 'Karate'. You can see it written on the uniform she was wearing in the video also.
One loss is not a losing skid. I know MMA is popular so everyone is jumping on board but we really need to understand the definition of the terms prior to making any videos on MMA. I see a lot of videos where someone is giving their opinion about a fighter and cannot even pronounce their name correctly. It's imperative to be fluent in the language of MMA before critiquing it.
Why isn't she in movies? Seems like a no-brainer.

Women age quicker than men. A 31 yr old women is like a 37yr old man! She just got older a came across a younger Lioness, thats all! Amanda Nunes knew that and retired accordingly! Rhonda Rousey had to learn the hard way and now its Valentinos turn to gracefully bow out!
She could take the belt from Rocky right now and she also can take her belt back!!! She is far from done! Her mother is a martial artist and is in her 50s still training!!!
Valentina is on a whole other level. She has nothing else to prove to no one. She's a Champ 4eva! I love that woman. I named my youngest daughter after her..... a true Fem-Fatal
瓦倫蒂娜本來就是王者,這一切都是UFC的商業銷售操作,只是為了要打進墨西哥市場,就像是,布蘭登.莫雷諾一樣,Dana可以隨他想要,但是,瓦倫蒂娜才是真正的飛量級女王。😤💚💪🇹🇼

She and I are like 12 days a part. I am NO athlete, but I am active and hike a lot. Its NOT the same lol. Age happens. However, she just needs to adjust. She is definitely smart and technical enough to work around it.
She atydie chick,multi skilled, and a badass,in her prime she was quality to watch but like@mastermind said father time is undefeated.i would ov liked to watch her fight ronda
Alexa Grasso, 👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
The first public martial arts school was opened by Vasily Sergeevich Oschepkov in 1914. He opened a Judo school in Vladivostok. The first international judo tournament took place in the same place where he opened the school in 1917. Maybe it was forbidden for women. But she was a great fighter. I think she had a great career.
Her Sister is called "Antonina" dude 🙏🏻

her mother didn´t train them in Karate, but in TKD - and what happened to her is that she didn´t change her fight-game, that´s why Alexa could defeat her in their 1st fight, while she actually lost the 2nd + got the W just by mexican national day
Even if she win the title back, she is gonna be mauled by Manon Fiorot. But it doesn't change the fact that she is the goat of flyweight.

Karate was banned in the Soviet Union? Which nation collapsed in 1991. When Valentina was 3. I doubt she ever had trouble training.
Shes just a loaf of bread,but in her mind shes a brioche.....she hates how other fighters that she sees as " lesser fighters " can get more attention then her fights ( zhang comes to mind )

She will get it back she beat Alexa Grasso in the rematch dominately. She won the first round, she was winning the second round before she lost balance and Alexa had a knockdown. Alexa Grasso didn't knock down Valentina Shevchenko it was just lost of balance not by Alexa Punch. Valentina beat the shit out of Alexa. Valentina Shevchenko decided to box with Grasso and outboxed her big her. If Valentina Shevchenko decides to use high and low kicks she would cripple Grasso, u don't know why she decided not to throw much kick Against Grasso, she decided to go to boxing primarily
She never did any karate,the video clearly shows ITF tkd which was in the Soviet union from the early 80s and certainly not banned,she was a very successfully tkd black belt before muay thai

She did different styles of karate when she was a teenager,not sure the videos are on the Internet she did judo and has a black belt in judo as well but you can't find any of her judo fight online because it more then two decades
I hate the fact that the phrase, "The Greatest" keeps being thrown around. There's no such thing as "The Greatest." Champions come and go. It's what keeps combat sports relevant. No one stays the champion for ever, even those who decide to retire while they happen to hold the championship belt. As for Valentina Shevchenko, she's in the beginning stages of her "Gate-Keeper" stage of her fighting career whether she admits it or not. This in no way means she's no longer a damn good fighter anymore. It just means that champions come and go and she's on her way out.

32 is very young for an athlete, it has nothing to do with her age at all.
She isnt personable. Like most Russians and Khabib types, no charisma and I am sure Dana would rather have more Rhonda Rouseys and McGregor's than any more Valentina's or Khabibs. Boring.
If the Soviets banned karate and she trained in it anyway, she wasn't "defying the odds," she was breaking the law. I mean, good on her, commies are nerds anyway, but I'm just correcting the use of the term because I'm an online jerk. Nice video, though.
Valentina will destroy her. Valentina was robbed in last fight.
The trouble with her is she’s 50% in the sport and 50% in travelling around the globe and having pictures and interviews with everyone to make more money. I believe she has lost her total focus and dedication to the fighting and now she’s only wants the money. Shame because she is a great fighter. 🎯👍

Wrong. She’s been in martial arts competitions since she was 5 years old. She’s in her late thirties now and yet at the top of the heap. Can the woman have a life outside of the sport while she maintains a competitive career. She’s a good person inside and out. She’s due some praise, not criticism.
WHAT HAPPENED TO VS ??? ALEXA GRASSO !
Nobody can win them all. Part of being a Champion is losing, and getting back in it. Much respect for Schevchenko, she's an absolute legend.
All i hear is excuses from the alexa vs valentina 2nd fight in the comments. I personally think it was a draw. Yes your favorite will eventually be taken over by someone new and stronger. I highly doubt there was any political agenda or nationality. Im mexican american but was raised both in mexico and the u.s. i can say we are very patriotic but never to the level of cheating. Also the match was held in the u.s. and not even in a state that is heavily mexican oriented. Valentina is just being surpassed by new comers. It happens all the time.
If anyone is a spy it's her.
Her sister is dating their coach who has been with them since they were young girls 😬😬😬
First you say she’s on a skid - wrong; one loss and a draw isn’t a skid. Then you say she flies airplanes (no, her sister does). And then you say she trained in Karate as a child - wrong again, it was TKD; in the photo you use for this video you can see that her uniform/dobok has ITF markings. So, after a little over one minute, you’ve made three misstatements; therefore, I stopped watching and won’t bother with your channel again. Bye-uh!
