Pena also submitted Shayna Baszler back when Baszler was considered a top Bamtamweight and submission whizz. I think both Shevchenko and Pena were rightfully ranked as the top contenders of the moment and look forward to a rematch, maybe later this year and maybe for the title. |

Re: Shevchenko-Peña (no odds available yet)
a win over bazler isn't saying a whole lot. bazler was a stiff. she would have been better off working as a practice dummy for a real fighter.
pena has skills. her downfall is her big mouth. |

As I was saying, she comes from a very strong wrestling background. Her wins over Pennington, Tate and Nunes were all very impressive and on paper, she seemed to stack up well against Pena. But Pena shut her down in the 2nd and 3rd rounds of their fight. Those are the kind of performances that make you think the times are changing. I'd like to see how she'd do in a rematch against Pennington, a fighter that has bettered herself enormously over the past year or two. Quote:

<<Time will tell, ultimately. But at 34 and not having won a fight for over 2 years, I'd be inclined to say the opposite, that we probably have seen the best of her.

The Pena fight I'm willing to overlook, based on her comments. She did not look like herself, to me. Also, no wins in two years includes the voluntary year away from competition after the Rousey loss. Pennington would be a good choice for her next fight. Good fight for both. <<That may be Baszler today, but from around 2007-2011, Baszler was considered to be a top 5 Bantamweight. She was Ronda's first pick on TUF. Pena defeating her was a shock to many at the time.>> I think the loss to Pena really rattled Baszler's confidence. Fans had been lobbying for UFC to pick her up even before the Ultimate Figher. She was generally regarded as having been unfairly overlooked when they created the division. I think she believed her own hype and had a really hard fall on the show. When she eventually did get picked up by the UFC, I barely recognized her as the Shayna Baszler I knew. |

I don't see the embarrassment. You've got to promote your fights. Julianna has the right personality to do that. Valentina really doesn't, but she's a good responder for the ones who do. So that dynamic is what creates the interest. Julianna doesn't need to talk less, she needs to fight more. That's how you learn not to make mistakes.
Shayna was great for her time, a pioneer for the women. Now she lost her leg speed. She got older; that's the way it goes. She's still great for pro wrestling though! |
