she sounds like she's taking the right route. Most people rush into things.
100%
She already has her first pro fight with a Brown belt in BJJ. She's definitely rushing a bit. Obviously she thinks her stand-up is enough to get her through. It's hard to imagine someone with such a short amount of training stuffing takedowns from a pro. But I guess we'll see.
@Theone Youdontknow Yeah, but there's a difference between taking time to adequately prepare for a challenge, and rushing hard-headely straight into a dumb situation like a drunk college student.
That's not a champion mindset, a champion mindset is setting a really high goal and preparing with everything you've got to eventually one day make the mountain top. Practice, patience, and passion make champions. Not arrogance, foolhardiness, and overconfidence.
@@SefniAsheforr seems she did okay lol
@@pt211925 She did better than I thought, but let's be fair. Elkin is no top female fighter. Shields was calling out Nunes, and that fight last night didn't instill any confidence in me that she could do anything to Amanda whatsoever.
She's being logical about this and getting two Olympic gold medals already shows she has the grit to work hard everyday. The fact that she got triggered it's not without reason and winners feed on that to fuel them become better. It will be interesting see her development in MMA.
she stands zero chance against amanda nunez in the cage... none.
@@oldgrappler2536 Yeah right. This woman unified boxing world titles in two different weight classes, that's 8 world titles held and defended. No man has ever done that, not a long another woman. If Amanda didnt get her on the ground, Amanda is going to sleep. Give claressa shields another couple years to develop and she will be a beast.
@@REMEGORAS i agree. thanks for pointing that out, solid take
Easy clap for Nunes
Just won her first fight. She has heart. That will help her achieve all her goals in mma and I believe she will. Does need to work on ground game.
When she said she's 24 🤯 now I take her super seriously
If she makes the transition in 4 years and stays dedicated to mma for those 4 years she could have a super fight with amanda nunez
@@toniolopez7079 Nunes is already 34

@@kennychamo3479 she’s lesbian brother
she is actually training with Jon Jones and Holly Holmes now to be a real MMA fighter.
Nunez made holly look 3 4 levels lower than her in talent. And holly is a decent woman fighter.
@RC Pilot I didn't say that. N I by far think she got better hand than holly. I saw the footage between cyborg tho. Cyborg was lighting her up wayyyy more than non boxer should even though cyborg practices and trains. I'm saying. Cyborg fought Amanda and Amanda starched her. Quick. She starches everyone except Valentina cus Valentina really wouldn't fight cus she knew what was gonna happen if they exchanged. Based off cyborg loss to Amanda with hands... N Clarissa film with cyborg.. getin extra touched.... Clarissa don't want that wit Amanda. At all. Just 100. Like if they had boxing gloves on ... Yea... Clarissa... But wit the MMA gloves. Naw yo.
@@au_natural bro what lol boxing/mma math doesn't work also it was a spar on the spot and she was helping cyborg out with her camp she wasn't trying to hurt her or come with malicious intent she was brought in to help cyborg not hurt her
@@rickpeso7854 bruh. I know what it was. I'm not a casual. It wasn't sparring tho. The energy became full force shortly after it started. Cyborg was pressin her. Even shields commented on it .like I said. Wit no BOXING GLOVES. MMA gloves. Sheilds ain't beating Amanda Nunez in the octagon throwing punches . Shields ain't never even been hit by someone strong as Amanda dog cut it out . Plus her strikes are pure precision. Go watch some film
@@au_natural her strikes are pure precision against fighters that are wrestlers with 0 head movement, she fought old out of prime holly holm and cyborg has killer hands but has no headmovemnt she doesn't make people miss. Amandas hands are so much better then any woman in mma by far but she doesn't have better hands then shields just stop it, shields has fought the best women with hands around the world since she was 13 that's literally half her life
Lmao boxers are boxers. Fighters are fighters. Boxers be like “ya I’ll fight an MMA fighter......in a boxing match. 😂😂😂
Carlos Perdomo I thought I just heard her say she’s going to train and try to go the mma route.
@@seanism2011 she's doing both she doesn't like the mindset of MMA fighter going to boxing without the boxer going to MMA. She has a lot of Honor and respect for fighting.
She would get smashed in a cage and smashed on the street, she can only win in the ring with a specific set of rules. Even then Amanda is powerful and has pretty good striking she still has a chance in the ring where Claressa would have no chance in a cage.
@@chriswilson1968 no chance in ring she get smashed
Even the boxers themselves realize they're just bunch of bums, just look at fury's interview with Okamoto, dude expects to fight stipe in the octagon but with only hands :FDDDD
Keep talking Claressa.

@@trevorl.stanford7106 she better at least be smart then, lol, if she's not afraid of taking punches from one of the best female boxers ever. Right now, that would probably be the only way she could lose.
Nunez is going to break shields... She called Nunez out you fight that person not someone else first...she's a big mouth...like a dog with no teeth..all bark an no bite.
@@leelandglover2731 you don't think it makes sense for her to get better first? She didn't say Nunez was weak, she said Nunez didn't have better hands than her.
Shields also said it wouldn't make sense for her to fight Nunez first.

She said she would drop keith thurman and GGG
Not confidence, braindamage
@@kebobarmageddov2110 says the guy with an anime profile, talking about brain damage 🤦🏽♀️😂
@@millyslime1190 so my thoughts and opinion are invalid because of profile pic. She has only 2 ko/tkos in her 11 fights and thinks she can drop keith thurman, Porter or the best chin after Hagler GGG. Naoya Inoue or Donaire would beat shields half dead and they're 118 lbs
@@millyslime1190 If she really thinks she can ko GGG she truly has taken to many blows to the head and that should be considered as braindamage
Shields is grossly underestimating MMA. Haha
Shes arrogant like James Tony, will be fun to watch her get pressed against a cage eating knees to the face.
Ngannou started his MMA career at 27, and he wasn't a 2 time olympic gold medalist. Also, women's MMA is not at the level of men's as it is not as mature, so it needs more talent like her, who is just 24 years old. Don't forget that Nunes was also outclassed by GDR on the feet in their 2nd fight.
@@theinternet6729 What does Ngannou prove? He needed to have a bunch of amateur fights before he was signed to the UFC, even then he mostly relied on his power but got outclassed by Stipe because he didn't take grappling seriously, Shields needs years of training to even have a decent chance. Also GDR is a multiple time kickboxing champion so no wonder she was beating Nunes on the feet, but her grappling sucked, and the same thing will happen to Shields, but it'll be over quicker.
@@theinternet6729 the comments are right she's a little arrogant lol she's downplaying how difficult mma actually is. She can definitely do well and can be the future of mma but she has to start from the bottom like everyone else and be a little humble like Tyson fury is. I'd love for her to be in MMA but she has to do it the right way with the right mindset.
Holm, Joanna, Shevchenko were all decorated strikers who became champs in MMA fairly early into their career
Nunes would brutalize her on the ground lol, but it would be entertaining to watch at least
How would that be entertaining?
creative person because some people have knowledge of ground fighting and are educated enough to be able to enjoy the nuances
Mauricio Hiure she literately just said Amanda would not be her first fight & she doing just training for 2 years
Mauricio Hiure how does she do standing you think?
@@ForeverHues i mean she's a boxing world champion so i assume she'd be pretty dangerous with those hands, but even then idk if she would be dynamic enough to deal with Amanda's whole stand up game, that's no joke man, this is not boxing rules, i think Amanda takes her down everytime but i think she could give a bunch of problems to Claressa on the feet as well

@@mattreyes4803 well said anyone thinking going to Jackson Wink to train MMA is a good thing hasn't followed the sport recently
“Training in any mixed martial art” makes no sense mma are a bunch of different arts together
It's universally understood by combat fight fans that if you're training MMA you're training wrestling, BJJ, and a striking art.
@@KevinKillaKam Right but it's more complex than that. You can train in as many as you can process, which is way MMA is such an umbrella term.
most people think mma is still strictly a clash of opposing styles lol
artiew87 that’s what it was originally, now its more well rounded
Ehhhh.... I meannn... You can train MMA
"stay in your lane" is a line for claressa.
With some training in other disciplines of martial arts she could be very good. She's only 24 years old, so she has plenty of time to train. She already has the best hands in combat sports.
@Dana ConorsDaddy White amanda's already said she will retire soon so time is of the essence
Clarissa has plenty of time to practice MMA. The problem is, she wants to get in the octagon and fight by the end of the year. Not good.
@Tupac Nation STFU
Chris M. Best hands?! She got 2 knockouts 🤣😭😂🤣😭😂
What Claressa doesn't understand is that it's not that Amanda is a super technical boxer... It's Amanda's power that is the problem. She hits people like twice and their knees buckle instantly and it's over. Amanda's over hand right is like a 2 hit combo. 1st hit: she lands the over hand right. 2nd hit: your face hits the mat. 🤷🏾♂️
She saying she’s 24 and still has time so she’s not gonna rush into a fight with Amanda Nunes when Amanda is 32, I can see this fight happening when Amanda is around 36-37 and Shields absolutely bodying her because she took so long
"I'm the best woman fighter (with my hands)" so your not the best woman fighter. Your the best woman boxer (supposedly I'm not a boxing fan) MMA striking is completely different to boxing striking, and she will find out soon enough.
But that's not what she's contesting..
She was contesting the idea that Amanda is the best with her hands... She is not... Period
She is mad jealous. Who cares if they think Amanda got the best hands they were obviously talking in an MMA perspective. She shouldn't even be concerned.
She has an Olympic boxing gold medal base and she only 24 that’s plenty young enough to get into another combat sport and become a force
@@eastcoastshine2009 that's completely irrelevant to my comment.
@@ORYK- It's called marketing fam you probably wouldn't even know who she is if she wasn't doing this🤫 props to her for looking to take on a new challenge. Not many challenges left for either of these women in their respective divisions so personally I hope she turns out to be as good as she thinks she can be
You not a best woman fighter, but if best woman boxer yes...i agree with that....
Abang Kacak did she say she best woman fighter or the best with her hands?
Holly holm is a better boxer than Clarissa shields and Amanda nunes knocked holly holm out
Weigner Leigner that’s just not true..
Water Champ just boxing not mma
Weigner Leigner clarissa is a better boxer
Look her kicks and ground games trainings. She is freaking athletic and learned a lot
Even Mike Tyson stays in his lane and respects MMA fighters.
a prime tyson in todays world would not
Stay in your lane bub
Yeah no, don't disrespect Mike Tyson ever
Tyson said that he would not want to fight in the cage because they would stomp on his feet and he has bad feet LOL. I'm sure that back in the day before he really knew anything about MMA that he would have jumped in the cage no problem but now that he sees all of the different disciplines that those fighters have he says that he would not get in the octagon
Give her holly first... see what happens. 🤣
Holly will hug her
Dana ConorsDaddy White lol
Holly is like Royce Gracie on the ground compared to her lol
holly uses steroids
Considering she said she's gonna train with Jon Bones Jones I'm asuming she's gonna train at Jackson Wink.
She would get an arm broken if she would take one step in the octagon
So she cant train and learn?? U sound dumb af. Watch the video
Stfu
Ok, let's find out
@@loudmf2994 it’s really easy to say you can learn, but she will not even hold a candle to what Amanda can do in there. If the girls like Miesha Tate who are aces on the ground can’t compete with Nunes, Shields can’t, the striking is a different story, but she is not used to leg kicks
@@loudmf2994 Do you understand how many years it takes to become even a brown or purple belt at Brazilian Jiu Jitsu?
Her hand speed and power is undeniable.
Especially with smaller gloves!!!👊🏾🤜🏾🤛🏾💣💥
She telling the truth though,she a better striker/boxer but Amanda can confuse Clarissa with leg kicks and fake takedowns to catch her off guard.Both are great fighters would pay for this fight
I’ll be interested to see what she says in 3 months after training for MMA. She seems to be underestimating how difficult it could be.
She's 24, she has plenty of time. Get off Nunes 🥜
gerry mendoza I know she’s 24 I think she could be legit in 2-3 years, but if she thinks she’s going to be ready for someone like Nunes in a year she has another thing coming. I hope she does it right though and does eventually switch over to mma, fights people her level at first and climbs the ranks, I’m a fan.
@@nomoney_sniper1885 "LEARN TAKEDOWNS" 😂 😂 😂
The whole gist of this video is that she doesn’t think that she’ll be ready for Nunes that quickly though. She was very hesitant in imposing an accelerated timeframe for herself and she left room to change her mind if she disliked the training. I don’t know what all this worrying and finger wagging is stemming from. She came off measured and respectful here
@@tzarleonardi8967 2¢
haha at least floyd was smart not to talk about going to mma
floyd is also 40+ years old
@@jonathanroche732 Thank you for pointing that out! Floyd would of been crazy to say "Imma do MMA profensionally at 42 or whatever years old!" because I would of been here like you ain't Anderson Silva or Yoel Romero calm down, at least they've been doing this all their lives! Claressa is 24 she actually has time if she is actually serious about the transision into MMA which is an ansewer we'll probably find out soon.
The thing is Floyd was 40 yrs of age when talks of him fighting mma fighters came into play. Shields is 24 and the women's division in the UFC isn't the most stacked tbh so if she does take it serious, she could make some noise.
@@stonecold316339 See I think diiffrently, I thing the UFC womens division is sacked especially at strawweight I think the problam with 135 is not the division but it's champion (Amanda Nunes) is 1. too dominent of a fighter and 2. in my opinion she is so far ahead of the pack compered to every other woman at 135 I mean shes ran through all those girls already but i respect your point
@@bellereinette2938 to be fair GDR gave Amanda a good fight on the feet and hurt Amanda quite a few times
I'm reading some of these comments and it's clear that they had made up their mind what they were gonna write before they even watched the interview. How is she disrespecting MMA? And since when is boxing not a part of MMA? A wrestler or BJJ says he/she is going to go into MMA though he/she can't throw a descent punch to save his/her life and nobody says their disrespecting MMA. Ben Askren still can't throw a descent punch and he's retired. I'm assuming that those saying that she is disrespecting MMA are young and haven't been around since the beginning when each fighter came with his own discipline to test it against everyone else's. It has since evolved into what we know today. She clearly points out that she has the "best hands" in women's fighting, she never said she's the best female fighter. She clearly says that she isn't going to just jump into MMA against Amanda, which means she is aware that her chances of winning that fight are slim. She wants to take time to learn the other aspects of the sport, the same as every fighter you have ever seen has had to do, and work her way up. That's showing respect. Only recently are we seeing fighters come up practicing MMA as a whole. Of course she should feel confident as a 2 time Olympic gold medalist and as reigning women's boxing champion that she'll beat any female in a boxing match. How many of you think Amanda would beat Claressa in a straight boxing match? If you believe that then you are probably one of the few that thought Connor could actually beat Mayweather and you are the one being disrespectful. Izzy had no ground game. Look how far he got before he finally lost. It took a bigger fighter in a heavier division to beat him. Just give her time and let her develop in the sport. [Edit: Amanda Nunes has shot down any idea that she would even consider boxing Claressa. So that let's you know how she thinks a boxing match between the two would go.]
And we gon just talk like Ngannou wasn't an amature boxer with a couple of kicks.
I was onboard when I thought she was talking about fighting Nunes in a boxing ring; but then she said she wants to fight in the octagon? Please, dear God, stop. Stop it. Just. Stop.
Amanda Nunes would destroy you in MMA inside 3 minutes 😂😂😂 and this is a fact.
Thomas Bodden on the ground yes.
Thomas Bodden we must see it for it to become a fact 👍
Which is why she wants to train for YEARSSSS before trying

Host: "most successful mma fighters starts from wrestling, then goes to striking."
Conor seating next to wonderboy: "who the f*** is that guy."
GSP also started off striking. Petr Yan, Israel Adesanya, Max Holloway, and probably a lot of others I'm forgetting.
@@hughmann8458 yeah the host is stupid
if you could just repeat what you said and comprehend you would know the key word max said was "most" but you're not very bright are you .
You have to respect her for being willing to go to MMA though... Most boxers in her place would just call mma fighters up to the boxing ring
She tried that. Nunez told her to step into the octagon if she wants to fight.
@@brianpierson1322 yeah... And what I'm saying is... She got called into the octagon and went to the octagon... That's deserves respect... The opponents she asked to meet her in the ring passed on that idea
That’s because women’s mma is more popular than women’s boxing. Only the male boxers call the mma fighters over because they get paid more and hold the leverage.
Amanda Nunes vs Claressa Shields, make it happen Dana
If any can do it she can
In a couple years, after she's had time to train MMA... It'll happen.
How she gonna say Nunes can't beat her, but ain't ready to get in the Octagon with her yet??? That's just dumb. Stop trying to convince everyone your a "gwoat". That's not for you to proclaim, it's for everyone else to realize it and there isn't enough evidence of that yet... but keep at it, maybe one day.

@Preston Handsome Shields got her first Olympic gold medal....in high school despite homelessness and the foster care system. Besides, Nunez subs by way of strikes and that's not going to be the case in this match up. Shields has incredibly fast hands with 16oz gloves, so check hooks with 4oz would be a sight to see.

@@cmathews5909 Amanda would double leg her and it would be all over. Amanda by GnP within the first 2 mins.
@@onsenman2008 You know what, you probably right. But then again, all Ngannou had to do was stuff the take down once and minutes later it was night night. About twenty years ago I used to watch Crocop smash all comers with strikes and an unbreakable take down defense. Not sure about your fight IQ, if shields develops a high level take down defense, the clinch would horrendous position for her opponents.
The disrespect is real. I remember in an interview in more than one Amanda Nunez saying I'm going to wrestle the s*** out of her her exact words verbatim. So how could they ever call Amanda Nunez the best female fighter with her hands when even she respects Clarissa's hands...
She said she was going to wrestle the s*** out of her as a way of saying she was going to humiliate her in the octagon for trying to call her out in the boxing ring

No doubt
I keep saying it to.
she would never destroy her throwing hands that was the point . do you people knw how to comprehend or yall just have selective hearing ? fact is no mma fighter can really beat a boxer just throwing hands and its been proven . thats why the only chance they have is to takedown and use the ground game .
Not in BOXING.

@@Kashmachine10 yet boxers never step a foot in the octagon
@@pinki6372 cody garbrandt began with boxing. Conor mcgregor began with boxing. I compete as an amateur boxer and I train in mma (muay thai, wrestling, bjj), and I am equal, if not better, than most of the people at my mma club. The idea that wrestlers, bjj practitioners and kick boxers can transition to mma over the course of 5 to 10 years and compete at a high level - while boxers cannot, is farcical. It took me the same amount of time to learn how to check a leg kick that it took to throw a jab.
The REASON boxers dont step into mma is because the prize (aka the money) is far greater in boxing. If mma was the premier combat sport, and if no one cared about boxing (I.e. if there was no money in boxing - similar to bjj or kickboxing) you WOULD see boxers cross over and some would do well.

@@straightignant7314 You seem really hurt btw. Jumping to Shields' defence at every opportunity. She doesn't need you to do that son, you mean nothing to her.
Madd respect to Clarresa Shields 🛡👏🙌💯
What does your username mean?
That was a great interview
Hahahha they were referring to mma which is a sport you are not in.
Lol go to the octagon 😂
just wait
I think she could do good if shes dedicated i wouldnt fight nunes tho and ima dude
Have Amanda Nuñes go into boxing she will look goofy asf to me shields has a better chance to go into mma and be successful then Amanda going to boxing and even win one fight
Welcome to MMA.. great to have you.
Loved how Max was low-key doubting her and she did exactly what she said she would do.
At 24, she could be a UFC champ by 30 if properly dedicated. Realize that we aren’t talking about the men’s divisions. Women’s mma is not yet as developed.
everyone here hating but i can see her beat nunes
@@bewaterlee9857 are you on crack? I am willing to bet you have never spent a single day training at an MMA gym.
@WARRIOR FIGHTER PAHLAWAN thats so great you know the difference between boxing and mma and that black women always lose even doe amanda is black descendant
@@JohnSmith-fk3fv me lol..actually i been trainning for more than year so you lose your bet mate
@@JohnSmith-fk3fv an mma gym? learn how to write mate
Picogram shape by december
She just said that she's going to trained for two years and I think two years is enough time for her to prepare herself for the octagon. Me Cant wait to see this fight.
Love her reason for getting into MMA...
TRUE competitor
Imagine saying “ I’m the best woman fighter with my hands “ out loud and being serious lol
@@bickdig no its not get real

@@bickdigthis didn’t age well
I’d like to see her back up them words in the octagon
She will
@@Nick-ui3rh that’s what we all want
she won't she all talk
@@Nick-ui3rh get destroyed
@@mike59ca she already has an mma fight.shes all action
I like max but he's forgetting GSP, Israel Adesanya, Francis Ngannou, Stipe Miocic, Holly Holm have all been strikers who learned the ground game later.
Well Max, she went to the octagon with months of training to stay out of submission holds
she don't want the UFC smoke
Atleast she is acknowledging the different aspects of mma.
It's good to have people from different sports in mma
As a striker myself i must agree. I think for MMA the judo/BJJ base is more important.
I love boxing and I've been a mma fan from the beginning of the ufc and I haven't seen a 100% pure boxer with that caliber and experience. Do you not know how heavy hands gets after being wrapped and gloves put on? Do you not know how fast hands becomes without gloves?
Claressa Shields is 10-0 as a boxer. James Toney was 72-6-3 as a boxer when he said the same thing. We all witnessed what happened to Toney after he said this and got into the octagon.
Brk stop u got a picture of Conor McGregor he got whooped by floyd
James toney the most undisciplined fighter ever
"She can't beat me" LOL.
let them box Amanda will not beat her
@1:37, she said, "That's not logical." And was totally correct! Not too many women/females have ever accomplished this feat! Amazing!
Claressa please keep training MMA I want to see this fight once you come up the women's MMA ranks.
3:52 Yeah ... that's not gonna cut it. Where is Cheal?
😂😂😂
But in reality Amanda would destroy you every day of the week in a real fight
A real street fight? Where you can eye poke, pull hair e.t.c? Who knows 😂
MMA fans, please get off your "High Horse" saying an MMA fighter will beat a boxer every time in a street fight. That's simply isn't true. Most street fights don't last more than 10-20 seconds and usually ends with a quick KO. NOT a kick, a right or left cross to the face...And Boxers are king at that!...And if it goes to the ground, it's someone like Tyson, what do you think's he's gonna do? Bite any dudes face right off!
@@boxer6796 In all honesty though, MMA fighters can control the distance better than a boxer, if an MMA fighter is very skilled in takedowns and has an excellent ground game, they could take the boxer down and submit them.
@@dynamitecity9667 In an MMA fight, no doubt. A street fight, totally different by friend. I wouldn't put my money an an MMA fighter in bar fight!
A boxer would destroy mma fighters in the streets... This lady would ko amanda lets be real
Amanda destrói ela no primeiro round 😽
Amanda é estrategista leva ela para chão rápido além dos chutes que a americana não tem
The sport will certainly be better with her in it. She's an Olympian level athlete. Even if the road is a bumpy one for her, she'll go on to do great things in mma.
Best of luck to you lady.Let us know how it all works out for you.
Whatever other disciplines lol
Ik what a joke
She used the word in the right sense, she accidentally just added a (s) at the end of the word.
You people fail to realize black athletes are just dominant at everything they do even if she doesn't know now she can get great at it.
@@bohanabo7728 You think angela hill is a great grappler?
@@3lo0oo0sh Angela Hill's grandma is white, so she isn't all black. Her athletic ability has been handicapped by European blood. Shields, however, appears to be pure Wakanda. If you put her in a Himba outfit, she wouldn't stick out at all.
Did Max Kellerman just say he’s been watching UFC since UFC 1?! LMAO!!
Would be a good striking fight, but Nunes will not strike with her.
Welcome, I love newcomers. I respect anyone that is willing to try this crazy sport.
Ask Meisha Tate!!! Said Amanda hit her the hardest she'd ever been hit!! Huge statement!
A coach may think he learns you only boxing but in reality he or she learns you movements. Movements are the key to everything and if you complicate it to much you will not understand the danger in front of you
My girl being an Olympic boxer and me talking wild crazy in the streets talking about I got something for you lol 😆🤣
different zone ,keep away from MMA, you cant take damage from amanda
Stay in your lane Claressa
You are the best female boxer but mma is a whole different world
I respect that she is willing to learn other martial arts, she is definitely a great boxer!... if she can pull it off...it would improve her striking... not that she needs it. Yes!!
I would love to see her progress!!
She's talking about learning and growing in mma. And everyone here saying oh she's gonna be surprised. At what? Even as a striker she knows more MMA than any fan in the comments.
Nunes would kill her , she’s the next Antonio brown
I don't wish that on anybody
Antonio Brown was never beat up by any mma fighter, or am I wrong?
She seemed very respectful, I don’t think ppl in the comment section even watched the video
They didn't,
Lol! She seems like an arrogant child who has no clue what being respectful is.
@@jpm2849 YOU DIDNT WATCH IT DID U 🤦♀️
Shields had a shot to fight nunes in the ufc but shields turn the fight down because it was a one fight deal……shields should chill til she is ready to get in the cage
Its not about winning or losing Or who's got the hardest hits dedication how much u love that sport and letting the world know that it doesn't take the best to win dedicate mind to it and it will show wants u figure out how to be dominate nobody can beat u
