JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – Maycee Barber sees UFC flyweight champion Alexa Grasso’s success as a good reflection on her.
Winner of her past four in a row, Barber’s (12-2 MMA, 7-2 UFC) most recent setback came to Grasso by decision at UFC 258 in February 2021. Grasso went on to dethrone Valentina Shevchenko in a stunning upset at UFC 285 in March.
With Amanda Nunes retiring, Grasso (16-3 MMA, 8-3 UFC) is now the No. 1 pound-for-pound female fighter, and Barber is happy for her achievement.
