BJPENN.com Fighter Picks Valentina Shevchenko vs Manon Fiorot:
Dan Ige, UFC featherweight: Shevchenko by decision. She will mix it up with her striking and wrestling to win. I just think it’s hard to pick against here, especially at flyweight.
Modestas Bukauskas, UFC light heavyweight: This should be a close fight. I have to go with Shevchenko, but I wouldn’t be shocked if Fiorot got the win.
Thiago Moises, UFC lightweight: Valentina Shevchenko. I just think it’s too hard to pick against her, especially at 125. Fiorot has looked good, but I think Shevchenko will use her grappling to get the win.
Julian Erosa, UFC featherweight: I like Shevchenko. She’s the more well-rounded fighter and will be able to get the win that way. Probably by decision, Fiorot is a tough out and has shown she can take some shots.
Chris Gutierrez, UFC bantamweight: Valentina is one of the best for a reason. She has harder fights and is super well-rounded. I think she gets the win here, as the experience in the championship rounds will be the difference.
Dustin Jacoby, UFC light heavyweight: Shevchenko by decision. I think she mixes in the wrestling to get the win that way. Fiorot has to keep it standing and even on the feet, Shevchenko is tough to beat.
