She ( like me ) had Soviet education. Our Soviet English teachers learned English through books, hence the accent. She learned Spanish while being in South America, so she has the privilege of hearing how people actually speak :)
I tend to agree on this. However, it seems her English vocabulary is more developed than Spanish vocabulary. The more limiting vocabulary slows her down at times and brings out the accent. IMO her Spanish is still more sophisticated than the English of many English native speaking UFC fighters.
She actually lived in South America for a long time ( Peru ) if I’m not mistaken, & grew familiar with Spanish having spoken it daily. She was also born in Kyrgyzstan & lived there for all of her early childhood so obviously knew the native language having grown up with it.
She has a case tho in some of her losses. The 10-8 in the second grasso fight was terrible, she should’ve won that. Also the second Nunes fight was extremely close and could’ve gone either way.
@94robirob but the overall decision wasn't. A draw was fair and you could argue Grasso won. So even though we got the draw in a weird way that don't really mean she DESERVED to take the belt off Grasso. He also gave Bullet round 4 which you could argue should've been Grasso's round.
well she did win that second fight :D but at the end of the day we have a trilogy either way we prob gona have a 4th fight its normal for her to be a bit mad. The other time she has been mad is vs nunes and SHE WON THAT FIGHT that wassent nearly as close as grasso and her 2 so ye

Not sure if the Mexican reporter didn’t understood english but he basically asked the same thing about her camp that she a already explained earlier in english.
@@puercoespineta it's about damage, your girl got punched out. She won two rounds across both fights against Valentina. Amanda won three rounds across both fights. Valentina might be a little annoying, but she's easily hands down the women's goat
I know a lot of people who do it, they live in Mexico and cross the border every day. to go to work, so Valentina's friends could also do it to train with her.
Luv VS, what a lady! I thought she won 2d fight vs Amanda but not Alexa. She is gonns have to be better than ever before at 36 to overwhelm and overpower Alexa, I dont know about that respectfully. Things happen, we will see. Good fortune to both, they are magnificent.
Correction: Valentina was slightly ahead and then threw it away in the 5th by going for an ill-advised headlock takedown. You would've thought Valentina learned her lesson in the Maia fight when she kept going for and missing the headlock takedown and nearly losing that fight because kept ending up in bad positions from the missed takedowns. If Valentina should happen to see this... STOP GOING FOR THE HEADLOCK TAKEDOWNS!!!
Hey, it's one chance for you, don't play with me, don't choose not to tell, once something like this happens, it's all in my hands, I'll spend it all for them.
The first fight that night in the early prelims a Mexican fighter was dominated for 3 rounds completely one sided and that same ref gave two of the 3 rounds too the Mexican fighter. I actually said right after that fight shevchenko is fucked if it goes the distance
She DEF WON the last fight. And regardless if she wins or loses. Her opponent won’t ever defend as many times as she did. I’d love to see the “champion” go up to 135 and have a competitive fight with Amanda nunes 😂 She would get murked by the lion.
@michaelmaniloff9297 Didn't Valentina had a ''champion edge'' when she fought Taila and most people think she lost that bout? Just asking... But nah, Alexa won clearly; rounds 2, 4 and 5. I don't get the controversy, the 10-8 is irrelevant, cause Graso won 3 rounds clearly and Valentina won 2 rounds also clearly
Most fighters whose ego needs to portray a loss or in this case a draw as a win, never do well in the following fight. The psychological aspect of constantly needing to control that narrative has a negative impact on the mind’s ability to improve to make the necessary improvements.
I want to be a Shevchenko fan, but it's difficult given the fact she's such a sore loser. A champion should be gracious in victory and gracious in defeat..
Agreed. I felt it was a draw. I want Valentina to win Saturday, but I think it's Grasso's time. They are both classy ladies outside the ring and assassins inside the ring. I love that about them both.
What kinda comment is this lmao this is mma, her jab, takedowns, kickboxing, etc... and just the overall versatility of her performance is what should have won her that fight.
@@doron297 Cause submission attempts are more heavily scored in the rule set, according to the official rules book. But anyways, Graso won clearly rounds 2, 4 and 5
She seems cool but the way she handles her loses is embarrassing. Finish her if you don’t want to take a chance with the horrible judges and stop crying.
@@DynastyIcon No Robbery,it wasn't a 10:8 but if the athletic.commission thinks the judge wasn't reliable to judge a round properly it means the judge wasn't reliable to judge at all which means you have to erase his whole scorecard and not only the 5th round. without the scorecard of M.Bell you have only 2 reliable judges for this fight. 1 judge scored it 3:2 for Grasso and 1 judge had it 3:2 for Val,so a draw is still the correct score imho.
The fact that Valentina Schvenko is still Whining about her last loss shows me she isn't ready to win. A True Champ but that loss behind her and promises to remove it from the Judges hand in her next fight but she doesn't say that. This means this fight is going to be another close fight. If its a close fight Alexa Grasso remains a Champion. Valentina has to KO or Submit Alexa if its a razor tight rounds Alexa wins the fight. Also Schvencko whines whenever result doesn't go her but when she wins she bcomes a ballerina inside the Octagon dancing!! True Champion loses and takes a loss with GRACE!! GO Alexa VIVA MEXICO!!!

Well, she isnt though she has only complained and pointed out facts. She beat both times Nunes and the judges robbed her we all agree. For this second fight, with grasso you can say she won 100% but a 3rd fight was gonna happen anyway regardless. She tech has 1 loss in her record if it was not for shit judges. So if it keeps happening to you that can be annoying that fucks with your money :D esp the nunes times when she would have been a double champ
val arguably won the 4th round. she was outstriking alexa, reversed her takedown and got one of her own, & cut her upper left eye and that's damage and damage wins you the round. so technically, she was 3-1 going into the 5th. the decision should've went to her wether it's unanimous or split, the fact that she was the betting favorite on live odds going into the 5th round says a lot. they robbed her!!!
@@extendedrealityextendedrea5382 every professional fighters knows that, even commentators always say that a cut wins u the round. and besides, she outstrucked grasso, was piecing her up with jabs, so technically she won that round. no matter how competitive it is, it's always going to come down to who did more, and val did more than grasso in the 4thR. even the live odds were on her side.
Mike Bell should be banned from judging, Valentina deserved the 9 not the 8 on round 5 costing her the belt. I can imagine other fighters must’ve dealt the same fate with him being judge

I love her confidence. Doesn’t need to worry about what others think. She’s had an amazing career hall of fame.
When she's speaking in english, you can hear her accent from her first language. But in spanish, her accent is similar to a native speaker.
