After pulling off one of the biggest upsets of the year at UFC 285 to dethrone Valentina Shevchenko, Mexican Women's Flyweight champion, Alexa Grasso defends her title in a rematch with the former champion. The pair headline the UFC Fight Night 227 at the T-Mobile Arena in Las Vegas, one of the year's most anticipated fights. Grasso has expressed surprise at the attitude of Shevchenko in reducing her loss simply to the mistakes she made rather than the efforts of her conqueror.

Alexa Grasso

The Mexican champ debuted in the UFC in 2016. Alexa Grasso began her UFC career at Strawweight but later found the Flyweight class more comfortable. Riding a four-match winning streak, she entered the octagon as a heavy underdog against Valentina Shevchenko last March. After a reasonable first three rounds, the Mexican striker got a few shots in during an exchange in the fourth and then got under the chin of Shevchenko. She tightened the choke, and while Shevchenko struggled for a while, the former champ eventually tapped out for the submission.
