Alexa Grasso proved she’s more than just a striker.
The UFC women’s flyweight contender picked up her first submission win in her most recent trip to the octagon. Grasso (14-3 MMA, 6-3 UFC) tapped Joanne Wood with a rear-naked choke in the co-main event of UFC on ESPN 33 in March.
Not only was it an historic win for Grasso’s career, but also an important one in the 125-pound women’s division. With the victory, Grasso improved her winning streak to three and remained undefeated since moving up from strawweight in 2020.
