Valentina: Erin, she is like a very energetic puppy, because her style is-
Ariel: So Erin, Valentina called you a b*tch, what do you have to say about that?
Oh Ariel as soon as I saw that title I knew it was you
😂😂😂😂Seems like what Ariel would do
Do you actually think Ariel titled this himself or do think someone on mmafighting edit department did? Let’s use our logical brain
They do a good job at baking the cake so too speak. Or stir the pot...
@@oii723 Its Ariel. The same one Khabib called out on being two-faced and has a good resume as an instigator. Also the one Paddy mentioned lives off of fighters names
What do you want the title to say? "Valentina sat on a Mongolian Donkey/Horse?" Really?
Ariel about to call Erin and show her the puppy comments, Ariel always instigating
always.. he can't help himself
It's the fight game, get over it. Maybe Dana should do his job so Ariel doesn't have to.
Instigating is kinda how you promote fights. Remember when Ngannou and Gane had a few sparring sessions together and they promoted it as 'Friends Turned Enemies!!!' That's the business.
@@rickd438 im not mad at it, I actually love it, I'm just calling it as what it is
😂😂
😂 a lot of goofy haters.. this only proves Valentina is succeeding. Keep winning champ! #1
lol
Itsy amazing to see her dedication. Her quest to improve and learn. She is traveling all the time to learn new skills. That's why she is on the top.
loved her career but we are close to the end it will be downhill from now on 😔
That has nothing to do with why she's good. She would be just as good without proper training. Her traveling to learn about other cultures is something everyone who travels does and it has very little to do wirh why shes good. This just happened to be Japan where it's part of their culture. Stop acting so easily impressed.
Boy, this all aged so well, didn't it?!
Really get similar vibes from Valentina as I did when GSP was around. Just an all around student of the game and just has passion for learning all forms of martial arts and is damn good at them all
Yes, indeed. Val is one for the record books. Every fight she shows up.
Lol
Valentina is the best female fighter period. Bullet all day. 👊
She is the most skilled FEmale fighter but the Gwoat is still Amanda Nunes until Valentina beats her in a way that the judges can’t rob her on the scorecards.
@@emmanueldixon2235
Amanda Nunes was a little too big physically for Valentina... that's what gave her problems.
Fighters before the fight: "I won't speak about next steps, I'm only focused on this fight."
Fighters after the fight: "It's too soon to think about next steps. I just want to take this time to relax"
Fighters all other times: "I can't say any details about my next steps yet, except we are working on something."
😂😂
Not connor
So annoying
What do you want? They cannot reveal the close door discussions. Dana will crucify them.
@@kneecage3236 yea, except for the fact that everything mcnuggets says he's gonna do, he never does. He can talk about future plans all he wants cause like the boy who cried wolf, no one is listening 😂
9:00 funny how Ariel keeps trying to make Valentina admit that she had a tough fight with Santos
English isn't even her native language, and she still speaks better English than Brenda Schwab. And not only speaks her native Russian, but also Spanish fluently. Let that sink in. She's a dominant champion who trains hard, and still has time to ability to perfect 3 language and also hobbies like being a marksman. Brenda has been speaking English for about 40 years and talks for a living, and stuff can't properly speak at even a 1st/2nd grade level. Unbelievable.
She's learning thai as well. Brilliant at handling guns, can play ukelele, can dance💃
@@user-vs9db4tj2g Yep, that's what I was getting at with "hobbies like being a marksman". Didn't know she was learning Thai though. Doesn't surprise me though. She's definitely impressive. I think she speaks a little Portuguese as well.
Valentina: I do not trashtalk
Also Valentina: Erin is a dog that goes around flying and barking
thats ur interpretation. if you know anything about puppies you'll know that it was an apt comparison
@@chleepy yes puppies are young, it’s still an insult… You’re
@@jvike4584 insult 😂 compare their fight history....she's not wrong... Six months ago nobody knew who Erin was.... Clearly she's an amazing young fighter. Meanwhile they take guys like Paddy and O'Malley and set them on a slow path... So why the rush for Erin especially when at least one more fight before Valentina makes sense in every way... At best either way she's getting Valentina at the end of her career... Call it what it is....
@@jvike4584 Valentina trains since 30 years, that was not a insult in any way.
A few months old puppy, oh man Erin's ground game can be a nightmare for her
The standing hair on her is even awesome!!
that's just god trying to pull back his angel
God I just noticed it and now I can't unsee it 😂😂😂😂
@@brandunk924 No she's just the real life All Might
Something about Mary style
It has her fighting spirit. It won't give up and it refuses to go down! Buh Dum Bump Tiss! LOL!
I feel Erin is ALMOST ready for Valentina, give her one more big fight (hopefully no interference like last) to prove it once more she belongs, then give her Valentina, that being said, I don’t think Valentina loses another fight until they decide to throw her in with Nunes again, which even then, that’d be another legendary close fight.
Anyone except Taila Santos because both Valentina vs Santos and Valentina vs Erin will be great. We want to see both. I think Santos vs Fiorot makes sense and Erin can probably fight the loser of Valentina vs Grasso.
I think she needs manon next and let taila and Erin blanchfield have a #1 contender fight.
@@faizanyt yeah I wouldn’t do Santos either, you risk shutting the hype train down too soon as well from a business perspective, you give her someone JUST under her to give her enough justification to fight for the belt. Fiorot makes perfect sense.
If Valentina beats Grasso, Fiorot should be Next by all means, she’s #1 contender in Flyweight division, her UFC record is 10-1 and Valentina still hasn’t fought someone as Top as Fiorot. That’s the ONLY fight that makes sense for Valentina Next, assuming she beats Grasso.of course.
Blankfield? Let her fight other contenders like Murphy, Chookagian or finally have the match that didn’t happen against santos or fight maycee barbe Next, her small hype train will get derailed ASAP if she fights Valentina plus the UFC won’t even put Blankfield in a title fight for the simple reason she’s not qualified for a championship as of yet she’s too tender.
santos? She’s on a L streak she needs to rack up at least 2 more W’s before she can even be considered to fight for the title, idk why people put her on a rematch like she’s some super fighter or something special she barely did nothing against Val what santos needs to do is fight the other contenders in Flyweight division like Grasso, Blankfield, Chookagian etc. in her last 5 fights (besides Valentina) santos has fought Nobodies, she needs to get a couple of W’s over top contender before anything. That’s what she needs to do. Fiorot is the only fighter at this moment that checks every box for a title bout, she’s qualified and is #1 spot contender in Flyweight to fight Valentina for the championship belt
@@Willie-po1lf thalia was robbed
12:36 is so true. Jessica Andrade phoned that one in.
Valentina is low key great at trash talk. We need to see the Blanchfield fight next, should Valentina retain her belt. The timing makes perfect sense- who knows how long Santos will have Visa issues for and Fiorot doesn't even want to fight her
Valentina said the 125 weight class was going to be the best since she was still a bantamweight
You think she's a bantamweight??
@@pragyamanral She had 4 bantamweight fights before moving down. She was 135lbs without cutting which means she was smaller than her competition when she was indeed bantam
HAHA. Amazing quote from Valentina
Valentina is such a Boss.. we all know as soon as Erin goes into the cage...she's going to face the toughest fight of her life...🙄😎💪
I love how detailed her responses are
Love you Valentina. From South Africa. Good luck on Saturday
Shevchenko’s mentality is next level, you can see it in everything she says
Keep up the good work!!!!
Her noz iz red fram my panshez
I think Valentina would run a clinic on blanchfield standing ...she better be on her takedown game
You thought wrong
@@Nick-us8vv Valentina is gonna piece her up .. which is exactly why she's gonna take her down at all costs
The female GOAT
She is definitely closer to the end of her prime. People need to enjoy her while she is still around because she is special.
Damn didn't know the champ has so many haters
Bro it’s crazy, and she has literally fought the best of the best, she deserves all of the respect, the only woman to stand in front of Amanda "twice" and not leave in a body bag or bruised and battered, these people follow hype trains, and clearly haven’t watched all of Valentina’s fights at Bantamweight and Flyweight. But yeah let ‘em talk 🤷🏾♂️
They’re just casual clowns that think Blanchfield stands a chance. I just hope the UFC doesn’t make that fight cos Valentina will beat her up very badly and finish her late just to make a point. She’s a demon in that octagon.
Agreed, but you know what if she wants the smoke 💨, I say give it to her to hush the crowd.
@@mrspiff6955 yeah I feel blanch needs 1 more fight or if grasso loses she should fight her
Man, that puppy diss was gold! One of a kind!
Ariel: "Why the long layoff?" Bullet: "I already destroyed all my competition, duh!!!"🙄
Alexa is such a cutie...
but I think Valentina will remain Champ .
Either way I expect an awesome fight , let's go !!!
tf..
She will remain champ until she talia gets a rematch (since talia already beat her and should be champ right now) or erin who can also replicate what talia did and beat her, erin won't get robbed like talia though since ufc want a english speaking champion so erin an young American perfect for them
You’re right…bc Valentina isn’t gonna lose until she faces Blanchfield or Fierot 😂
@@Estroogen lmfao I think this everytome I see these simp responses
Weird comment.
Everyone writes The Bullet off is hilarious can’t wait until she silence them all
Grasso is getting taken down easily. It seems people may have forgotten how she was at 115 against Tatiana & Carla and I guarantee Valentina is stronger than both. Tailor made match up for her.
She's a different fighter
@@FilmsSaaveON how you know? Her 3 fight win streak consists of 0 wrestlers for you to say that
@@cagywalk8318 4 win streak, know your facts
@@FilmsSaaveON Here’s a fact Tatiana submitted her in the 1st round and Valentina crucifuck her inside 2 rounds
That was early in her career, while her takedown defense is still iffy she's gotten better at being offensive on the ground.
I love Valentina!
you tell chaul sonen to Back off. she is a real martial artist and she doesn't care about it as much as He Does. she is great champ!
I hope Cold Blooded is in attendance when the Bullet retains title.
Erin✊🏽
I am proud of you our Kurmanjan Datka 🇰🇬💛
Criss corss apple sauce. Grassso took her soul
lollllllllllllllll, like a puppy......i love her
Chael was right she's fake as hell on camera
Fact. Fake nice, she should play up to being the villian she is
Nico Montanio is the goat of 125
Valentina "I'm not a spy" Shevchenko.
Fair.
😂 I like hearing her talk nice but condescending at the same time about her opponents
I love her. So much. Taila was bullying her and so she said ok I go to Japan and sumo wrestle. Won’t happen again bitxh. And she’s so hot I just love her. P4p best fighter in the world. Her and Islam
I stand corrected
So Alexa Grasso fight Saturday night is an afterthought? Great way to hype up the fight Ariel.
Ufc babe of the year 1902-2023
Ever since Amanda Nunes lost to Juliana Peña, there’s no doubt in my mind that Valentina Shevchenko is the #1 female combat athlete in the world. Amanda Nunes is definitely 2nd. Would love to see a trilogy between the 2 sometime in the future.
@@ImYankeeGG true. Nunes avenged easily too
Only newbies to the sport believe Pena earned that 1st "W" vs Nunes.. That was 100% all about $$$$ . Create a trilogy.. let Pretty Pena get a little shine for the UFC Women's Division.. Get some vacation time in.. Pena didn't even know she won the 1st fight and Nunes wasn't bothered by that loss one bit.. Came back 3rd fight total destruction... Yawn.
Valentina is the best
At first its not that i wasnt a fan of valentina because i knew she was amazing but now im a big time fan i just think hardworkin very technical shes humble pretty whats not to like
She lost to Santos
@@bingusman69 What type of bread though? Rye? French? Wheat? White? Potato?
@@bingusman69 Explain how she lost?
I’m liking this beef between Erin and Valentina. Young kitty vs Old kitty 😂
I love her
She so beautiful

All the Erin simps in the comments lmao
Valentina "I don't want to fight Erin or Taila Santos" Shevchenko
Exactly 😂
Valentina doesn't want to fight Erin, Talia Santos, and Tatiana, I'm not too sure why?

Valentina humble pie coming soon.
Ok dont delete this comment 🤣
Fr. Might be on Saturday.
@@shauushzjz Happens to everyone eventually.
When, on Saturday? Grasso is good!
@@claude5945 Grow up buddy, stop taking it so personal with the low responses. Sad
I would SMESH
Only muppets would judge someone on one fight.
Valentina "Grasso is a complete MMA fiytah but Erin isn't ready yet" Shevchenko
Yup
Grasso is moer wellrounded than Blanchfield. Reminder that Blanchfield was completely outstruck and completely outwrestled by Aldrich few months ago (taken down 3 times by a boxer who defended all of her takedowns).
Basically saying she only wants to fight strikers since talia ragdolled her, beat her and exposed her weakness, she knows she faces erin she faces a very similar threat so safe to say you got top tier ground game valentina will duck you for sure. She feels exposed after her last robbery win fight so doesn't want any smoke with grapplers now lool and people act as if she can't be beat, she lost her last fight she very beatable
@@ruloturati3852 Aldrich has good wrestling/grappling so shes not just a boxer, if her grappling was good enough valentina would duck her aswell loool
@@ruloturati3852 We both know that's not true. Grasso is a tailor made stylistic matchup for Valentina. A boxing heavy fighter that's also smaller. 0 grappling threat & not diverse enough on the feet to trouble her.
She better not take Blanchfield lightly! Out of all her recent opponents IMO Erin is her toughest and I'm picking Blanchfield as log she doesn't stand and stike with Val.
i don't think Valentina takes anyone lightly.. but Valentina made a fair point, Andrade took the fight on short notice, if she had a camp the result might've been different.. maybe Erin should pump the breaks just a bit.. maybe fight Santos first before thinking about fighting Valentina
She ain't taking her lightly the opposite tbh, she sees her as a threat a better overall version of talia who already beat her, that's why she trying to downplay her so people will doubt erin ablity to beat her, she knows what she doing if people aren't interested ufc won't make the fight, she ducking talia and erin for a reason
@@JM-bx2vg This comment is so dumb I’m almost shocked. Blanchfield is not ready for that level of competition. She beat Andrade that didn’t train for the fight. Valentina will change Blanchfield’s life if they put them in that octagon together.
Erin couldn't take Andrade (1 week camp) down in first full round and Valentina did take her down 4 times so how Erin gonna take Valentina down with her slow ass style
@@sachinchauhan5853 You make a good point but valentina defence has been exposed as talia took her down the same way like three times lool, so erin just needs to use something that is effective as we now know it will always work on her, too arrogant to change things up to defend such things so that will be her downfall
She aint tappin nada
Seems like Valentina just woke up 😆
She is a hard interview
😍
Its so bizarre and creepy how Valentinas coach is in his 50s and married to her sister. Yet he posts only pictures of Valentina on instagram.
just like your dad with your mom's sister
How bizarre
get your own life, stop judging other peoples
Has Valentina ever been with another man or been in a relationship??? Just curious since she seems easy going and easy to be in company with...
Stop spreading things you can’t prove about other people personal life’s. It seems like people just be looking for anything to justify hating through assumptions and allegations.
The women 🐐 gonna slaughter another 🐑
The man who can't fight talking about fighting
Valentina is the real deal.
Uh what lol
Hahahahah the 🐐
Why are you calling her a cow?
@@jayn6943 thafok? not a cow, GOAT
🔫
I love Valentina and believe she is the best women's fighter in world but her interviews are a tough listen.
Lol give her a break. English is her third language 😊
@@Estoniiia lol I know but still.
She need to get a baby
Always instigating
I wonder what the excuses will be when Grasso exposes her. She did use the excuse of the size when Santos and Nunes exposed her, and she used the excuse of the doctor stoppage when Carmouche knocked her out with an elbow
Yeah they both were a lot bigger than her, definitely Amanda, Valentina didn’t even make weight most of the time she fought at bantamweight she was under, and she’s literally the "ONLY" woman Amanda didn’t knock out or beat to a bloody pulp, and she fought her twice. Taila out muscled her but was clearly outclassed on the feet, no one has anything for her on the feet, Valentina has literally fought the who’s who of females MMA and it’s crazy how some of y’all try to trash he, but y’all praised literal hype shows like Ronda Rousey, who I loved but Val is one of the best male or female. Give respect where it’s due.
@@justenzo7666 Santos is a better grappler, size had nothing to do with it, not much anyways, they are of the same weight class after all. Valentina has completely smoked bigger opponents with ease. And Valentina is a huge flyweight, it doesn't matter what she says; there's a reason why she fought at bantamweight most of her career, and there's a reason why she will never go to strawweight (she will need to cut a limb)
If you really think Grasso will defeat Shevchenko, don't forget to bet on her. You can win a lot of money - she's a +400 underdog.
bro it's Valentina Shevchenko 😂😂 she's a complete fighter.. there is no "exposing" her 🤣🤣
She's getting older. If she's smart she wins this and fights Nunes one more time and retires. Avoid Erin or the Talia rematch at all cost.
taila santos should be champ rn
😂
#AndStill delusional
She looks like her inner babushka is trying to get out…
She probably did the interview after training
I think Erin blanchfield is valentina 2.0. Younger version. It's time to pass the torch to the next wave of fighters.
🤗
Lol Blanchfield is good but not close to as well rounded as Valentina. Erin is a grappler with ok striking. Valentina on another level in both disciplines
@@AlaskanMayangreed. But age is catching up to her. She has a decade over erin. Valentina has nothing to prove. If she vacated the title and retired tomorrow, she would still be the goat of women's MMA. Valentina should think about passing the torch to someone else
She will get finished this year & I can't wait to see it lol
Clown 🤡
Erin is getting destroyed
Not likely
She did not very good in the last 3 fights.
Chris weidmans father is the zodiac killer
valentina is trying to avoid Erin just like she did with Amanda. She got exposed in her ground game last fight and didn't want the rematch with Talia either. Not the female GOAT...
Avoid Amanda?! Lol she fought her 2x and both losses controversial
@@AlaskanMayan Ya MMA Clips is tripping with his comment. Might have had a couple too many drinks or something...
Last year, I went to Singapore. I saw Val lose her fight. Val is done, is done.
Just a hoping and a hoping! 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
@@deepthoughts1739 hummm, still in deep thoughts? Still respect to Val
@@lilianehuggett1564 Yeah, as always. All the congrats to Alexia
Valentina should be training with superior grapplers/martial artist's, that is what will cause her downfall, beyond any doubt..Vacation and seeing foreign lands should never be the motivation, got to go where the best martial artists are to get better..Puppies could be wolves misidentified..
Valentina is not the one who should train with the best martial artists Valentina is proven The likes of Erin Blanchfield and the rest of the contenders need to train with the best to prove themselves
@@duanyu7198 There is always someone coming down the pike that is going to beat you, the best way to avoid that is to constantly improve on your weaknesses..It will still happen, but you can delay that inevitability..She can only control one person, herself..
@@KrikZ32 I didn't say anything that everyone doesn't know, just obvious realities..You can make a straw man argument if you want, but that doesn't change reality...Someone better is always coming through the system..On any given night anyone at this level can win or lose..It's a matter of the odds, preparation, filling holes...If I had to guess based on the odds, I'd say Valentina will lose her belt to a rear naked choke, within the next 3 fights...Lets just see...
@@KrikZ32 Rear naked choke buddy, just like I said, glad I put my money on Grasso by submission and won $10,000.00 Ha ha.....

Dude Valentina is on a different level.
😂😂😂😂😂
It’s good that she lost she needed to be humbled because she has been trashing and dismissive with the fly weight division contenders recently. What she needs to work on is her boxing because Grasso absolutely destroyed her in the stand up game. First time I’ve seen her get dominated like that ever, Grasso I think can take on Amanda Nunes based on that victory.
