Before Betting on Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko 3 UFC Noche
Alexa Grasso is the defending Women’s Flyweight champ, who’s sitting at the top of the UFC women’s pound-for-pound rankings. She’s 16-3-1 overall with plenty of weapons in her arsenal. Boxing is her strongest suit, and she’s also famous for her incredible stamina.
She got ahold of the title in 2023 after beating Valentina Shevchenko by neck crank, causing one of the biggest betting upsets of the year. Before the fight, she was a +620 underdog.
In fact, for the first three rounds, it looked as if bookmakers were right to favor Valentina. Before Alexa submitted her, she landed almost 30 significant strikes more than her, along with four takedowns.
The two had a rematch a few months later. This time around, the fight lasted for the full five minutes. We saw Valentina make four TDs and suffer only one. She landed 80 strikes and Grasson landed four more, one of which resulted in a knock down. That’s probably the reason why Shevchenko didn’t win that fight. Instead, the judges scored it a split draw.
Shevchenko was visibly upset after the fight, thinking she was robbed of the title. The good news for the 23-4-1 fighter is that she’ll have a chance to get the championship belt back on September 14. Will she pull it off?
