Alexa Grasso is sorting through the fallout of losing her title to Valentina Shevchenko in their UFC 306 trilogy bout. Grasso’s (16-4-1 MMA, 8-4-1 UFC) reign as women’s flyweight champion came to an end after 18 months Saturday when she was outworked by Shevchenko (24-4-1 MMA, 13-3-1 UFC) en route to a unanimous decision loss at Noche UFC at Sphere in Las Vegas. The Mexican didn’t have many answers for Shevchenko’s wrestling in the first women’s trilogy fight in UFC history, and as a result the series between the rivals now is even at 1-1-1. This outcome was clear-cut, though, leaving questions about where Grasso now stands. She doesn’t seem to have gotten that far in her thought process, but she made it clear that a return to training with focus on growth and improvement is the priority to ensure she doesn’t put on another repeat performance in the future (via Instagram ): View this post on Instagram A post shared by Alexa Grasso (@alexa_grasso) I want to thank you for all your support It wasn’t the night I wanted.
