LAS VEGAS – UFC women’s flyweight champion Alexa Grasso is thrilled to be a part of the first-ever live sporting event at Sphere, and eager to close the book on her rivalry with Valentina Shevchenko.
On Sept. 14 at the second Noche UFC event, Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) will attempt to pick up her second victory over Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC) in a the promotion’s first-ever women’s championship trilogy bout.
Their second meeting at the first Mexican Independence Day-themed event resulted in a rare split draw, which meant Grasso exited the same way she entered, as a champion. However, while she came away with gold, a hand injury also followed.
