Taila Santos knows a thing or two about the elite in the UFC women’s flyweight division, and she thinks Alexa Grasso is here to stay as champion.
Santos, a former UFC women’s flyweight title challenger and now PFL fighter, doesn’t think Valentina Shevchenko will regain her title in her expected championship trilogy against Grasso later this year. The Brazilian believes that Shevchenko’s prime is becoming a thing of the past, and also thinks Grasso has figured her out.
“Alexa,” Santos told MMA Junkie in Portuguese when asked about who’d win the trilogy bout. “I think Valentina, I think her time is passing, and I think before that trilogy she should’ve accepted a fight against me again because she’s losing her grace.
