think the side kicks are going to get her in trouble because they are thrown lazily. sooner or later someone is going to grab her and take her down that waythis , Fiorot is much bigger than Maia and she looks like she is comfortable grappling back, she has a purple belt and is in top tier shape, she looks very strong for this division, i swear she looks like amanda nunes big. Add her outside striking acheivments in kick boxing and karate, her much better technique on the feet. i dont see Maia doing anything here. Fiorot's strikes are more fierce and explosive, she reminds me a little of Holly Holm with the karate side kicks, I think she is the biggest threat to Shevchenko than any other girl.
but on the talk of Maia, her biggest claim to fame is her getting a round of Shev, which is understated how Shevchenko basically fell over for that TD and maia was in top control the rest of the way. It had nothing to do with Maia's takedown ability. If she had any takedown ability she would have used it in either of the CHook fights. what I think anyway
