You forget she’s also a TWO TIME OLYMPIC GOLD MEDALIST.

A legend already*

Wait waitaminute.. U must be, don't be please no, slow.. She already a legend.. She just still goin..

@@azureavocado5195 No I actually didn't just didn't put in my comment but yes that too!

Hard to believe she's only 26.Seems like she's been dominating a decade already.She a great fighter.

Oh yes!!!!!

Fax💯💯

Excellent

💡 Was America really part of the country of India and that the Indians were not red, but the British called them the Red Indians to isolate them from India and after the British held them execution and rape parties for women?...

Only to lose her 2nd mma fight to an average fighter 🤣 The 🐐 😂

fuck me too, in tears

I caught chills

NO, she's NOT a Dog. Her characteristics or attributes while fighting shows those of a dog.

I think she said Don

Looked like CLUBBER LANG VS ROCKY BALBOA !!!

smart? compared to what? Close to braindead in my book

I noticed that as well.

wouold be impressive if the ref had not stopped it to soon, he gave her the fight

@@bryannonya9769 If he hadn't stop it Elkin would risk suffering brain damage. She was pretty much stuck in a position wear her head was wide open.

I mean wouldn’t it be more impressive if she won by sub since she’s already a boxer?

@@bryannonya9769 She was gonna win anyway you clown, who cares?

she only won because elkin let go of the armbar for some reason. i think she thought the red said it was over.

But she definitely needs to work on her wrestling. Her boxing learning is done - so put the time on learning the rest, kicking, wrestling positions, etc. So much stuff she could use.

Girl yes, I was getting pissed but I’m so glad she came though

Happy to say her ground game is evolving every day

First off i think it’s her will and guts that makes her the legend she is. For about almost 2 rounds elkin really used the grown to show it was her domain and this was also one of shields first matches in the mma and she didn’t shy away. Like “Kobe mamba mentality” she went straight for I.T right at elkin letting her know this might be my weakness but I’m that dog that my weakness I won’t be allowed to make me falter. And she beat her at her own game in the same way and she purposely did that. She not like a rampage Jackson or kimbo slice she’s a different breed from them as dominant strikers. She showed even out of her specialty she can get it done any way needed! Champs win ugly and unconventionally and she fiercely went into winning that way I think this is a real statement win for her even with the room to grow

If someone would just give her some judo and BJJ basics and tell her to stand up she would be a serious problem - If she trains somewhere she needs to find a better trainer - she has the stand up already

This was a great fight.

Right…I definitely got teary eyed! Queen did her thing

she looked like a old lady vs the mexican

Fuck yeah her stamina is crazy shes a beast very awesome job for her 1st mma pro fight

Yeeessss!!

Holly Holm is a better all around fighter. Being a legend and champions in boxing, kickboxing and MMA. Katie taylor is the best pure boxer in the sport. shields is good, but not as great as the two previously mentioned. shields lost the fight right after this one to a nobody. JS.

Yeah our sister beat that beast down!!! She the better fighter.

@@mikehunt7586 you bring interesting points the only problem is no one asked

Heart of a Lion!!!

I was doing all type of movements 😂

I love the eye contact with her corner. You could tell she had heart and fight in her.

Yes I noticed that….she focused on her coaches and followed the advice. Amazing win 🙌🏾

Шо ты напысав, шо стилько лайкив поставылы

Yes it was WOW 👍🏾

Because she's a boxer, not an MMA fighter. She's coming in with a disadvantage. If boxers want to fight MMA fighters it should be in a new middle ground sport called Rumble. Boxing with elbows, knees, hammerfisrs, 6 Oz gloves, extended clinches, and a smaller ring that allows for more brawling. But no kicks. Eight 2 minute rounds. Rumble will allow us to see who the best mid range fighters are.

@@brianhanes5413 i just feel like the main things that boxers need to learn in order to make it in MMA is clinche and takedown defense. If they can master those, they can rely more on their natural skills to win

Comebacks are always the best. She looked very natural at that weight too. The other girl looked like she cut too much weight.

typical white supremacist even when you lose you still talk like you won.

Why?

@@analogalbacore7166 Just because you'll do it all the time. Bleeding like a white heavyweight. And try and act like you did something amazing

She won! 😆 🤣

Facts!!! It wasn't a rubber stamp Floyd Mayweather organized sparring session...!LMAO

I agree, she did not panic. She seriously needs to learn how to use her hips and work hard on ground game.... She does that .... she will be a serious threat to anyone.

IF she continues to develop in MMA and can adjust - I can see her really hurting someone actually. Like her hands are crazy

Shes already had her ass beat .it didn't take any special

That first overhand i was like....yo that's gonna be remembered someday.

Shevenko or Nunez will punish her she’s years away from even thinking about getting in the octagon with either of them.

potential but lets not get ahead of ourselves, her opponents record is well with all due respect, but that was good but a more experienced and technical fighter would punish her mistakes there, hopefully she learns and improves.

You mean after Elkins tired herself out in the second round? That's literally the only reason she won

@@mattbarker1411 sure it is stop hating you mad that the black girl won stop hating

Good luck with that. It's 3 years minimum to be competent and aware on the ground and she's set on her ways.

@@realjaytruth at least she wasn’t scared to step in the octagon though you have to respect that.

Hell yea I’m a fan now ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️good work to both btw

Ground game, ground game , ground game that really needs to develop and she will be fine out there. She did a lot better than most men in there debut in the octagon no cap. Great fight

facts, but she doesn't have to be Anderson Silva lol. All she needs to do is defend the takedown well and work on cage pressure

I was yelling in the car for her like she was my sister 💯💯💯💯💯💯

@@seankaine2411 It was a pretty emotional moment, real talk. Truly inspiring!!

The chills that I got like the determination was relentless!!!!!!!!!

@toptier bryan okay professor for some people punching is striking. Some don't develop much more then that. Look at Gaethje, mixes in leg kicks but for the most part he is a puncher. Their are a few cats who have a little more then she does but prefer to throw leather.

Still ongoing smh terrible

@@treacherousjslither6920 Murica! 🤷🏿‍♂️

How the hell can a country call itself the “greatest nation”, yet millions of its citizens don’t have drinkable water?

@@stevonopolous4875 issa conundrum.

Yes: FLINT STILL DOES NOT HAVE CLEAN WATER.

I watched for the stomp. It wasn't called because there was no separation between foot and head, thus rendering it more of a push down than an actual stomp. U gotta good eye to have spotted that btw. It was definitely tide changing

@@PancakeDiaries why thank u good sir. My vision sucks, i was probably taking shrooms that night like I am tonight and had that wavy vision if that makes since. It don't make since at all damn. Maybe my third eye caught the curb stomp. Well shit I am wasting your time...im a big fan of your work Pancake God...stay blessed my friend 🫡.

@@shotty5873 🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯 I was on the shrooms, last night. Had a moment. 🥞❤️, and salute to u

Her hands are incredible, but her wrestling is less than jv level in this video. Women's mma just has almost no talent, so it's not exposed. Very few decent women's mma fighters

typical white supremacist even when you lose you still talk like you won.

@@fangiscool1 which is exactly why this game is hers to take and dominate

She has the best mma coaches in the game with winkle jon

😂😂😂😂😂 her ground game proves your second statement wrong.

😅 Fan boy much.. She was garbage as fuck. In UFC this wouldn't have been stopped. Inexperienced ref that knows jack shit about Jiu Jitsu 🤷‍♂️

I felt anxious for her, her athleticism helped her survive that fight, the natural length of the other fighter was an advantage that would have continued to drain and frustrate an inexperienced grappler. Good fight though. She needs to definitely work in her ground game, though. Congrats Clarissa m…

Didn't she mostly just box? I seen 1 kick she threw and no takedown attempts if im correct.

@@geemamma7424 and?

Tall girl only had tank downs but now power to actually hurt shields. She needed to keep her range outsmart shields with a high leg kick. Shields is a ball of power where tall girl only has leverage

I agree she should get a training camp where she can work on grappling submissions and make that bass as stronger as her Boxing .

So true but i'm not a MMA fighter but a certified Kick boxer and Personal trainer. Even though she is a extraordinary boxer, I just didn't understand why her corner did not advise her; weather it was in the camp or ring to use the front side kick from bone Jones play book to keep the opponent at bay, and to use elbows as well as jabs and punches! 🤔 she might need an extra trainer or other trainers to improve her game; because those few tricks from bone Jones playbook would have been excellent for her debut!!!

That’s Pretty freaking good especially she’s new at this game Broward her

@Manoel Júlio uhhhhhh, what?????????

Good fight

Bro the bomb the threw starting the 3rd round gave me a headache watching!!!

💯💯

She lost to a can after this fight 😂

@@curlsgonewild5769 bandwagoners are so annoying. She wins one fight against a tomato and people think she's a beast when in reality it takes year to get there

facts

She needs to improve her grappling as fast as possible. Only having boxing skills in a MMA fight is suicide, and almost is not going to cut it. Just saying

@@nuffflavor for sure.

@@nuffflavor and Vice versa, just grappling, jui jitsu etc isn’t enough either, have you be able to throw hands as well, ala Rhonda rousey

@@smbeezy Well, kinda. Do not forget that Rhonda was queen bee with the lack of a superb boxing skills. Her down fall was not using her grappling skills and trying to win with boxing. 🤔. She became top dog with grappling. You ain't being no top dog with just boxing.

Did you enjoy her last mma fight 🤔🤦‍♂️

@@rebelp311 I did. It shut the hype men up. Stop hyping fighters until they fight a great fighter. That type of bandwagoning is why Conor McGregor and rousey got so much money for being can crushers

CLarissa lost her next fight

She’s hungry and still learning. Her journey will be more entertaining than the entire landscape of womens mma rn. All of the greats either aged out or bred themselves out of contention for ANYTHING noteworthy. It’s a wrap for womens athletics overall tbh

I should really watch the video before reading the comments 😅

@@nameless6161 .6h😮😮.....

@@pyrammoise9995 I usually get 30 secs in and can't help myself 🤦‍♂️🤣

I thought they were both absolutely dreadful not much skill between either one of them

@@nameless6161 me too😂🤣

She have no choice but too period

No....

lol she beat a girl that was 3-6.....stop it

@@hitemwitsalt8181 so what it was her deput in the sport and they described her opponent as being a veteran. Keep being a bitter h8er

The outcome was pretty predictable, the Gracie’s dominated early mma so you would expect someone just coming into mma from boxing to not fight a high level grappler in their first fight. I would call this a bad matchup but she displayed great striking, against another striker she would have probably been dominant.

@@hitemwitsalt8181 yeah a boxer went into another fighters comfort area mma… you want her to fight nunes next?

@@alexcasillas6973 lol.. Exactly.. these are humans, Not perfectly flawless machines (*Claressa, in particular) they need time to properly develop. *If the boxer (Claressa Shields) brings in New New Boxing fans to MMA

I absolutely loved how she did get outside of herself, frustrated, doubt or do things out of the game plan. Loved the respect and attentive listening she gave her coaches in the corner and took all of the lessons form the first 2 rounds to mount a comeback!!! Great fight...even better WILL and PERSERVERANCE!!!

she even had a couple of legs strikes that surprised me - One thing that boxers have is incredible cardio and with her background she definitely has the work ethic to put in the work to learn the other styles necessary to be successful

@@heathjohnston4352 obviously needs more training MMA ain’t all about throwing punches this fight alone tells. But my point is incorporating boxing iq in MMA makes for a good counter when needed ✌️

Bro delete garbage !!! The announcer animal couture proved boxers can’t hang wit mma awhile ago..::: hence the toney comment

You cannot compare the 2

Isn’t that what Holly Holm was and is though? A multiple time world champion who was much better immediately when she made the transition, and who topped out as a champion in the UFC? The advantage Holm had though is that she had also been a kickboxer/Muay Thai champ, which has always translated better to the cage than straight boxing.

@@donchidichichi5545 I definitely agree with your sentiment as a fan. The level of striking and specifically boxing in general still has a ways to go

She needs wrestling, not jiu-jitsu.

​@@kallepikku4991lol ok coach

Unstoppable?? Nah .. I’d say Frances Ngannou , Stipe Miocic or Jon Jones could stop her

riiiight. so what happened when a soccer mom beat her ass?

@@JB-fp5ud what a dumb comment.

@Juji-Gatame 🤡👍🏿💩

Same thoughts..improve her ground game, and incorporate a few kicks.. then she will be RAW

She was definitely scared and I don't blame her ... she got much respect for staying in the fight and giving it her all .. shit more than her all she summoned something deep down

Stay surprised. She is the Gwoat… what about hands off to the winner.

A 3-6 record is not a very good fighter.

Elkin is an average fighter. Shields is a better fighter, even as a novice fighter.

........that was depressing.

She fighting in the PFL in November

She has, she lost.

@@brownamerican5786 okay and? She’s new to the sport and doesn’t have an amateur mma or grappling background… at least she has the heart to get in the cage and give mma a go

@@Dmvgold1995 I agree 💯. She s got pop in both hands too. And that is the only thing that saved her in her 1st fight. Did not save her in her 2nd. But she puts in the work and she could get there. She is a very hard worker. But I need to see more before I am all in on her MMA career. Boxing all in, MMA, time will tell. Hope she does well though.

@@Dmvgold1995 yeah exactly when most if not all boxers make mma athletes go to boxing. She stepped out of her element. Beast mode!

She was supposed to let then hands go faster and chop dat girl ear to many pauses

It was unbiased; stop. Elkins came in with an obvious advantage having already been doing this.

I agree

A lot of power

Years and years of PEDs..

BS She wasnt Fighting her mom, she should have thanked her opponent.

@@kayakuprising5914 what for, not raising her or supporting her in any way?

@@mercistephens7325 You seriously don't get why someone should thank their opponent? SMH, you only get one chance to thank an opponent in the ring, and she chose not to. She can thank her mom every day, any day.

@@kayakuprising5914 her opponent has never done shit for her. thanking your opponent is performative if you didn't have a connection to them before the fight which defeats the purpose of it to begin with. nobody really cares about it because it doesn't matter. no one including her opponent will die over this.

I’m pretty sure her opponent was in the floor writhing. She supposed to go over and be like “oh yeah btw THANKS” Lmao No but in all seriousness, u thank ur opponent when u both stand next to the referee at the end of the match…

If she even had a basic wrestling backgroun/defense, sheeeesh shields would be unstoppable. Only the beginning for her but damn! She’s a monster.

No one 🤷🏾‍♀️
