Alexa Grasso wants to give Valentina Shevchenko an immediate title rematch
The new Flyweight Champion wants to give the former dominant champion an immediate title rematch after their bout at UFC 285. Shevchenko went for a round-house kick that missed the target; however, Grasso capitalized on the mistake, took her back, and submitted Shevchenko.
In an interview with Megan Olivi, Grasso said she would rematch her opponent immediately. The Mexican champion cited Shevhcenko’s career accomplishments as the reason for giving the former champion a title shot.
The immediate rematch makes sense. She was a dominant champion. We can fight again."Alexa Grasso via ESPN MMA
UFC has not moved to book the title rematch, and Valentina Shevchenko has not indicated when she is ready to fight again. A title rematch looks likely before the end of the year, and fight fans will look forward to whether Grasso can defeat Shevchenko a second time.
