Valentina Shevchenko, the champion of the lightest women’s division of the Absolute Fighting Championship (UFC), reacted to the words of 23-year-old American Erin Blanchfield (11-1), who announced that she was ready to take away her title.
“It’s funny how all these young fighters with five wins think they’re the best, number one in the world. You know, they can be likened to puppies. This puppy is young, he has no problems, he has not yet fought with strong opponents, he just barks with his ears up.
He’s happy, but as soon as he enters the adult world after the first fight, as soon as he gets hit, he thinks, “Oh, that’s something else, I wasn’t expecting this much”. They all begin to change their minds, ”quotes Shevchenko Morning Combat.
The 34-year-old Shevchenko will make her next championship defense against Mexico’s Alexa Grasso at UFC 285 on March 4 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, USA.
Former Swedish warrior of Chechen origin Khamzat Chimaev saidHow he was affected by performances at the UFC.
