LAS VEGAS – Alexa Grasso hopes the Noche UFC card begins filling out with some big names at the top, including hers, of course.
The event taking place on Sept. 14 at Sphere in Las Vegas has been hyped up by UFC CEO Dana White as one of the biggest events in the promotion’s history. It will be a celebration of Mexican Independence Day, and UFC women’s flyweight champion Grasso hopes she gets the opportunity to represent her country of Mexico in the first women’s championship trilogy bout against Valentina Shevchenko.
“That’s the plan, that’s the fight that I would like to happen,” Grasso told reporters during a media scrum outside Sphere. “I have to be a part of Noche UFC. How could I not be a part of Noche UFC this year? I just truly hope that she can accept the fight. I mean, it’s good for both of us.”
