LAS VEGAS – Alexa Grasso knows she’s in for the toughest challenge of her career, but she has covered all the bases in preparation for the chance to make history.
At UFC 285, Mexico’s Grasso (15-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) will have the opportunity to end the championship reign of Valentina Shevchenko, who has held the women’s flyweight title since 2018, racking up seven title defenses.
It’s a tall order, and one that Grasso went above and beyond to prepare to be the one to stop the stranglehold Shevchenko (23-3 MMA, 12-2 UFC) has held on the division. She will have her chance in the pay-per-view co-main event at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas this Saturday.
