Great performance,, I think Shavkat should work on inside trips and judo throws from the cage though

 Think Valentina's wrestling and grappling ability will prove the deciding factor. I like Grasso in the pocket and in boxing range but I don't think it spends much time there. On the feet, Valentina will pick at Grasso with the kicking advantage and look to get this down. 50-44 50-44 and 50-43 all for the unstoppable one

I agree. I knew boxing was definitely Shavkat’s weakest attribute and Geoff only solidified that glaring weakness. He’s still a potential champion, but his shortcomings are more noticeable than Khamzat, who’s weakness is pretty much just having an ego too big for him to contain

Valentina is one of few fighters from that whole region that as far as I know aren't best friends with Ramzan Kadyrov, which I can appreciate.
