LAS VEGAS – Alexa Grasso will defend her UFC women’s flyweight title on a busy weekend highlighting Mexican culture in combat sports.
At UFC 306, Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) shares the cage with former champion Valentina Shevchenko for the third time. The fight itself is historic, but so is the event at the venue, which will be a first-ever live sports broadcast from Sphere.
In addition, Noche UFC is a celebration of Mexican Independence Day, which will focus heavily on the country’s culture and combat sports history.
