She’s super chill. She handled that lost like a champ. AND she cracked the code….she was the first one to show the world Valentina wasn’t invincible
LoL Amanda Nunes is the first one
@@mastermind2173 you know what you’re absolutely right lmaooo how can we forget that🫡🫡
@@WhosJusToi she may not be invicible but she is still a living legend . Not gonna hate what she has accomplished . But time past by now new younger fighters Era. Valentina is in the era of Ronda Rousey/Holm/Nunes.
@@mastermind2173 this is a young man's game. I completely agree with you. I just watched some of her older fights compared to these last two and she has definitely slowed down
@@WhosJusToiFighting in general is a young man game.
This is like a dream fight. 2 of the most dominant contenders. I hope they just make it to the octagon.
She had a few opportunities to finish Valentina with rear naked choke just like Grasso did. Like Taila, Grasso never got her arm under Valentina's chin but was able to squeeze and put enough pressure on Valentina's jaw for Valentina to tap. Khabib did the same thing to McGregor and made him tap. I blame her coaches for not pointing this out to her.
Taila is very confident that she will beat Erin and grasso. Strong mindset.
She is almost as old as Glover Teixeira
Miss guided
@@jiveshdonode1271She already beat Valentina and got robbed so it's not really far fetched to say she can beat grasso and Erin
I am routing for Erin to beat her I feel she just better fighter everywhere but we will see I can see Talia beating her and getting title rematch she deserves she should be champion right now tbh so least she deserves
@@itzAndy03She's barely 30 😂😂
@@JM-bx2vgTalia Will win imo
Santos really said Alexa Grasso isn’t dangerous. Last I checked, Grasso actually submitted Valentina Shevchenko
Valentina gave Alexa her back on a platter. Alexa couldn’t take her down she just capitalized on a stupid mistake.
Doesnt means she is dangerous i agree with santos
@@anewday1017if you finish fights you are dangerous the only opponent you could say isint dangerous is someone who goes to decisions alot like Katelyn Chookagian
@@yuckyknucklessantos took valentina’s back and couldn’t do shit, grasso finished her when the choke wasn’t even locked in fully, thats more dangerous 😂
@@mmaart1309That's because valentina was expecting it and she still beat Valentina and got robbed, grasso took her back because she gave it to her and didn't expect that to happen so one got lucky and one got robbed massive difference let's see if grasso can sub Val when she expects it 💯 bet that doesn't happen alot of black belts couldn't sub her you think grasso barely a purple belt doing it if it wasn't for pure luck?
Word is She beats all her coaches and trainers from her last fight... gets kicked out of her gym and doest get a single question about it.
Wtf is that true?
Stop living in rumor's and why is that important now in this fight y'all just too negative everywhere
Grasso retains the belt and loses it to Santos
Yea I think Santos and Fiorit are Alexas biggest threat
@@taxfree4603Fiorot is not that big threat.
Alexa has better striking than Slow ass Manon and better grappling as well
Yes Taila santos can cause problems with her size.
Loses it to Erin* I think she beating Santos tbh but Santos can beat grasso aswell so doesn't take from your point
@@sachinchauhan5853No she doesn't she has better boxing which Manon can neutralise by keeping her outside, very hard to box from out of range it's a inside fighting style for a reason, monon footwork and kickboxing will give grasso all kinds of issues in the feet
On the ground she can neutralise grasso enough to either get some clinch time on her or separate to keep on feet where grasso will have issues with her
Just watch pena nunes 2 that's what Manon grasso would look like just minus the damage and knockdowns 😂😂
@@JM-bx2vg Stop underestimating Grasso
Erin's striking is terrible when compared to likes of Val and Grasso and her wrestling is not that good as her BJJ is.
Taila is slow with her striking but her strength and wrestling will make a difference and her BJJ is not that offensive but Grasso's active footwork make it harder for others to take her down.
Crafty is not necessarily dangerous. Grasso was crafty. Blanchfield is dangerous. That said, Taila is powerful and has a respectful knockout history. This fight should be interesting. Neither fighter has been stopped, that I'm aware of. Taila has one lost, questionable, while Erin remains undefeated to date. They both should be looking over their shoulder for those Silva girls. Karine and Natalia.
Santos has ZERO KOs in the UFC and 1 finish in 7 fights. Her last KOs were 7 years ago against combined 0-13 Fighters. You made that up. Santos is good but that is BS.
Santos got 2 losses man
Those Silva girls are going to bring some heat to the division
My baby back ❤❤❤❤
Did you see the size of her Adam’s Apple
Alexa made Valentina to go to the ground her boxing game is probably the best striker on her division
If grasso wins, Santos has s good chance to take it. I can't see erin winning this fight but if she does she will rule flyweight, big if though
honestly i can see this fight going either way. both ladies are well rounded..
@@Fitkid7672 wrestling yes. Santos can easily ko Erin though
This girl is a beast 💪
She just gassed in a 3 rounds fight 😂
How is this fight not the co main event ???
Because nerds and virgins project their fear of rejection by hating on wmma
What is,?
@@mikejames4910 Anthony Smith fight
Lol Talia, NO ONE is scared of you. The champ was told to fight Grasso and she did. You lost the fight, stop crying about it and get better. You can’t bring the champ down and not inflict damage. You just wanted to wrestle - wanna be the champ? KO her and that’s not happening. And no, you don’t get to decide where to fight. You will fight in Vegas! 😂 focus on Erin because she’s a TOUGH fight not about you beating grasso or shevchenko lol
Did she pay her coaches yet?
No she has been training solo in a small gym she rents and have very few training partners
@@peters3524 damn 😂💀
She also had an orbital fracture from the Shev fight and that kind of stuff never fully heals so when she gets hit there it’s more likely to swell up faster.
@@peters3524how did they repair it? Titanium?
Doesn't matter she got release from the UFC. She is just too hard to work with visa issues, steroid allegations, only fighting in countries they don't test you in etc.@@markdittman4781
But you’re a black belt and couldn’t finish Val. Alexa did tho
Because Val got caught of guard in her fight with grasso would never work if that wasn't the case and she was beating grasso where as Talia was ragdolling Val even though she trained and prepared to deal with that and she beat Val and got robbed massive difference
She is a blue belt i don't even know what she is talking about
@JM-bx2vg alexa almost had her in a guillotine choke at the end of the round
@@JM-bx2vg she didn’t out-strike Val though. Control time means very little anymore.
@@JM-bx2vg Getting caught is all part of the game, you can’t say Alexa got lucky. Remember this wasn’t the first time Alexa had a submission.
pay your coaches and training partners first hahaha
This is a super fight ,,,,,,,,,,,,,,,Santos lost a 5 rd slit decision to Valentina Shevchenko in which some folks thought Santos won
Does she have an adams apple?
She has a lot more
shes definitely heavy on the roids with all that acne too
enlarged adams apple in female athletes is almost always associated with PED usage.
@@ReggaePanda😂
That's not your mother, it's a man, baby!
Tell me this isn’t John Dodson with a wig… look closely 👀
I ain't never seen em both in the same place at the same time🤔🤔 🧐🧐
Aw man, now I’ll always think of this when I see her 😂😂
Yep, Taila's-Maturity will Make a Difference!!
blanchfield about to make you look silly
Santos isn’t Molly
@@gp873 santos gonna find out what a real bjj expert looks like
@@beamng06we will see.
Santos will shock you. She’s powerful and can grapple very well for 3 rounds without getting tired.
@@beamng06 the girl who has the most submissions across all the women’s division in the ufc, Santos beat. Was that not real BJJ?
The champ
Alexa Grasso is Mexico's last hope, 2 down, if she wins Mexico will still have their champ.
Would like to see her dominate Brooklyn wren
This blue belt is gonna get dominated a world class black belt tomorrow.
Honestly, did think that taila won when she fought Valentina. I also thought that she was going to get an immediate rematch.
Alexa and her team should thank Taila for helping them come up with a game plan. If this fight between Valentina and Taila hadn't happened, Grasso would not be the champ now.
I love Taila. She will avenge Valentina. I have not interest in her fighting Grasso...but I love that she defeated her also (we all know that last fight of Taila was actually a victory but the judges were bad and the headbutt injury was unfairly ignored by the ref). Taila will avenge herself: Vá buscá-la Taila! 💪💪✊🏼✊🏼❤❤
