Billy Quarantillo pulls no punches reacting to Amanda Serrano challenging Valentina Shevchenko
Amanda Serrano recently sweetened Jake Paul's proposition to Dana White by offering to fight Valentina Shevchenko if the UFC supremo accepts Paul's demands. However, UFC featherweight Billy Quarantillo doesn't believe Serrano would be able to hold her own against 'Bullet'.
Quarantillo offered his two cents on a potential matchup between Amanda Serrano and Valentina Shevchenko in a recent post on Twitter. He rallied behind his UFC peer with little hesitation.
"Idk which boxing or YouTube fan needs to hear this… but Valentina would maul this woman in an mma fight."

Shortly after Jake Paul released his response to Dana White, Serrano took to Twitter to build on Paul's proposition. She offered to sign a one-fight deal with the UFC to lock horns with the UFC women's flyweight titleholder.
"I will gladly sign a one fight deal with the UFC to challenge Valentina for the Flyweight Championship if UFC agrees to Jake’s offer. Let’s make history."
