UFC Flyweight Division Russian Representative Victoria Dudakova explained in an interview with why Valentina Shevchenko could win Ronda Rousey in the best shape.
Rousey was the UFC champion in the 61.2kg weight class, holding the belt until November 2015. Shevchenko fought in Rousey’s weight class for the title, lost to Amanda Nunes and moved up to the weight class until at 56.7 kg, where she became the organization’s champion and made seven belt defenses.
– You started fighting when you were shown Ronda Rousey’s tapes. Now one of the most important women in MMA is Valentina Shevchenko. If they met at the top of their game, how would their fight end?
– I think Valentina would have won, because she is a brilliant second number and would not run towards her, like all rivals. Holly Holm therefore worked, did not rush to her, but only worked on the retreat.
Ronda Rousey is famous for her hip, and to do a hip you must first get close to the opponent. It is very difficult to do when the opponent does not let him approach, but works ahead of the curve. Valentina would have worked the same way, she is always very cautious and I think she would have won the same way as Holly Holm, Dudakova told .
The Russian will make her UFC debut in the weight category up to 52.1 kg against the Brazilian Istela Nunes (6-4 in MMA).
