Poll: Amanda Nunes vs Valentina Shevchenko #2

[kaladin stormblessed]

july results were:
shevchenko: 14
nunes: 12
dont care for wmma but still clicked on that thread: 3


my bro-in-law used to train with her when she trained up in jersey. he says shes cool and "would throw down" at practise. so i usually root for her.

but valentina is too cool. just watched the latest countdown. i love how she trains outside and shit. i think i might love her. i'll probably never get a hot vampire to look after me, but valentina would be perfect. she could totally protect me

Nunes seems way better to me.
I think she just need a good game plan which involves a lot of angles and spacing and taking pot shots and combo's.
In & out and dice her up.
Valentina seems to have a fairly week game imo.

Valentina via sinusitis rd 3

that's not Nunes' style and you're underestimating Shevchenko. she has some of the best muay thai in the ufc (male or female) and might very well avoid the ground game (granted I never watched their first fight).

I think Valentina wins a decision picking Nunes apart in the later rounds.

A "week" game? Well, the fight is in about a week. LOL! Stay in school, kids.

If the curse of beating Rousey is true then Amanda will lose.

 

[Wild]

Have a feeling Valentina takes this one by decision.

Hey look, the angry guy is back.

Nunez via battering.

I wouldn't say I'm underestimating her game, just would advise Nunes to stay away from Schevenko's strengths, which happen to be close quarters and toughness.
Otherwise it may look similar to their last fight.

 

[Gay For Longo]

Shevchenko got this

 

[Papi Chingon]

I can't vote on this. Both girls seem like awesome people. Amanda throws bombs and is aggressive as fuck. Valentina is very technical. Fun matchup.

 

[BenAskrensStrikingcoach]

Valentina to weather the early pressure and take over from the 3rd on.

 

[1031]

I think the ref will intervene early with Nunes dropping Valentina and then throwing bombs and connecting on Schevchenko's arms and shoulders.

 

[TalkingLeaf]

I voted nunes the first time around. But after her weight issues and suspect excuses for canceling the fight last time I now think she gasses out and shevchenko wins the decision.

I still think nunes is a more well rounded fighter but her advantages will end once she gasses. Nunes wins rounds 1 and 2. Schevchenko wins 4 and 5. It will come down to the third.

my head says nunes, but my heart says bullet

Want to see Valentina beat the fukkkk out of this ducker.

Valentina beat Joanna 3 times in striking competition and is coming off of submitting Julianna Pena. She's a dangerous girl.

 

[member 3289]

Picked Valentina for the first time, picking Nunes this time.

Yeah she fades but she'll probably win the first 3 rounds and either get a finish in the 3rd or win a 48-47 UD.

 

[Ted Williams' head]

We don't know how good Nunes' stamina is. She faded hard in the first fight and has only had 1st round finishes since then. I think Valentina will extend her and finish her in the later rounds.

 

[Mix6APlix]

I agree. Taking 24 overweight children into the desert then having them trained by Army Rangers to get in better shape while sleeping on the ground would make for great tv. Forget even getting them to sign a release, as long as their parent want 8 weeks away from the little brats, they can get abducted in the dead of night by spec op forces, tossed in burlap sacks, and taken away to camp.

 

[tang]

Their first fight, Nunes did well for 1st and 2nd but Valentina came back strong in the 3rd. In a 5 rounder, I think Valentina wins. Valentina is super durable and strong, and she's cool as fuck, shoots guns and shit.

I wish Valentina was my body guard.

 

[GSPTrainingInAPool]

Valentina is a lock for this fight. Going to make a bet for any takers
