Seems like Alexa Grasso‘s win over Valentina Shevchenko wasn’t a fluke, but rather a practiced move in her gym with her coach. Her win over Shevchenko was something that she practiced again and again and produced an upset.

At UFC 285, it wasn’t only Jon Jones who won against Ciryl Gane in his return fight in the octagon but also an upset in the women’s flyweight division. Grasso produced an upset over the long-reigning champion of the division, Shevchenko.

Defeating a champion who has defended her title seven times, Grasso needed a strategy that needed to work at all costs. She practiced it in her camps and managed to execute the same exact move on Shevchenko to win her title.

Now it only remains to see if Alexa Grasso can defend her title or not in the Flyweight division. And Valentina Shevchenko will definitely want to get back what has been hers for five years. Only time will tell.
