Last March, Alexa Grasso of Guadalajara became the Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) flyweight champion, defeating Kyrgyzstan’s Valentina Shevchenko, who did not want to leave things there and will try to regain her title this Saturday.
Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko 2 will be the fight in which the former champion seeks revenge against the Mexican, who is currently crowned champion less than a year after her debut in the UFC.
How was the fight between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko?
It was six months ago when the Mexican and the Kyrgyzstan native faced each other in the UFC for the women’s flyweight title. Valentina defended it while Alexa wanted to make history in sports by being the first “Mexa” to receive it.
Grasso was clearer about the connections she made to her opponent, who made a big mistake in the fourth round: she missed a spinning kick and sold it back to the Jalisco native of Guadalajara.
Alexa didn’t miss the opportunity to jump on the back and put the then champion in his place. The new UFC flyweight queen won via submission over Shevchenko.
