Video: Dan Hardy breaks down Valentina Shevchenko vs. Jennifer Maia at UFC 255

After defending the women’s flyweight title three times, Valentina Shevchenko will look to continue her reign of dominance at UFC 255.

Shevchenko (19-3 MMA, 8-2 UFC) will put her title on the line for the fourth time when she takes on Brazilian contender Jennifer Maia in the co-main event at the UFC Apex, where she will attempt to further cement her status as one of the most dominant champions in the UFC.

Maia (18-6-1 MMA, 3-2 UFC) will have other plans, of course. The Brazilian 32-year-old from Curitiba shocked Joanne Calderwood with a first-round armbar at UFC on ESPN+ 31 in August to book her shot at the gold, and the former Invicta FC champion will look to upset the odds again by dethroning Shevchenko on Saturday night.

Ahead of their bout, former UFC welterweight title challenger and UFC analyst Dan “The Outlaw” Hardy invites us into “The War Room,” as he takes a deep dive into the matchup and offers his technical pointers ahead of the fight. Check out his pre-fight assessment via the video above.

UFC 255 takes place Saturday, Nov. 21 at the UFC Apex in Las Vegas. The event streams live on pay-per-view following prelims on ESPN+.
