LAS VEGAS – Valentina Shevchenko has one focus going into a historic third meeting with Alexa Grasso at UFC 306, and that’s to ensure the judges don’t have a say in the result.
The former women’s flyweight champ Shevchenko (23-4-1 MMA, 12-3-1 UFC) will share the octagon with current champ Grasso (16-3-1 MMA, 8-3-1 UFC) for the third consecutive time on Sept. 14 in the first live sporting event at Sphere.
Shevchenko is currently 0-1-1 in the rivalry. At UFC 285, she was submitted in Round 4, dropping the title to Grasso and crowning her the first Mexican woman to win a UFC title. The rematch took place six months later at Noche UFC, but the result was a split draw.
