“I think the Amanda nunes a very tough girl, and Valentina Shevchenko It's much more technical than her. Everyone knows that Amanda looks for powerful strikes, but Shevchenko's technique will be the difference. I think Valentina can win the belt. Of course, anything can happen in a fight, don’t get me wrong, but I think Shevchenko takes this one,” commented Holm.
