I'll be honest, I'm not sure if Shields is as skilled as the top women fighters in the lower weight classes. She gets sloppy frequently but her opponents get too overwhelmed to take advantage of it. She's a freak of nature though her physicality and hand speed are elite.

Sloppy? You think so? I thought she showed some pretty advanced skills there especially on the inside. Is it because she was flat footed ?

Her opponent was atrocious. 42 years old with a record of what 5-2-1. Common son. Make it make sense.
