Shevchenko is now the most arrogant fighter on the roster since the UFC told Ngannou to take a hike. Although Jones, and Izzy are ramping up on arrogance again.
Shevchenko doesn’t think she lost. She never has. She thinks it was a fluke. Even after knowing Alexa and her team saw that tendency, and drilled it.
If Shevchenko lost it’s the refs fault.. The judge’s fault.. High fucking tide, with a full moon.
She doesn’t give anybody else credit. I really like Antonina, btw. I think it’s really cool that she’s island hopping in the tropics in those small planes. That’s a career she can do for decades. Major respect to her.
I have to believe that she has to be the voice of reason to her little sister. Even if she isn’t training with her anymore. She has to know what’s going on. Many people thought Shevchenko lost to Taila. She 100% lost to Alexa.
And she needs to lay it out for little sister. If Shevchenko does not take any of these girls (Alexa, Taila, or Erin) seriously. They can, and will beat her. And Shevchenko has been ducking the trilogy with Amanda since last July. She calls everybody else arrogant, and says that they talk too much. But she doesn’t want to fight any of them.
Shevchenko is obviously still elite. But, she needs to get her ego under control.
I do expect her to take this rematch seriously though. She has a good chance to get her belt back. But Erin, and Taila would both beat her in her next fight. Let alone what Amanda would do to her.
I guess we’ll see. The fight doesn’t have an actual date yet, I believe. So no training footage doesn’t mean much right now.
