Judges Gonna Judge: Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko 2 and the draw that shouldn’t have been

Welcome to “Judges Gonna Judge,” where our MMA Junkie staff panel revisits the most controversial decision that occurred over the weekend.

This week, we take a closer look at the Noche UFC main event at T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, a women’s flyweight title rematch between Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko.

The fight was a thrilling back-and-forth affair that saw both fighters have big moments over the course of 25 minutes. When it was all said and done, the judges could not collectively determine a winner, as two judges turned in 48-47 scores for either fighter, while a third saw the fight as a draw with a 47-47 score.
