LAS VEGAS – Valentina Shevchenko accuses ESPN of showing bias toward Alexa Grasso in the buildup to UFC 306.
Shevchenko (24-4-1 MMA, 13-3-1 UFC) regclaimed the flyweight title from Grasso (16-4-1 MMA, 8-4-1 UFC) by out-grappling her in the UFC 306 co-main event Saturday at Sphere. Shevchenko was able to close out their trilogy with a unanimous decision after she was submitted in their first fight, followed by a split draw in their rematch – a fight she’s adamant she won.
Shevchenko was happy to beat Grasso in decisive fashion, but she believes she wasn’t getting enough credit for her performance in the rematch, specifically from ESPN.
