Alexa Grasso retained her UFC flyweight title in her rematch with Valentina Shevchenko, but not in a way she or anyone else expected when a split draw ended Noche UFC on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
Grasso and Shevchenko fought to a split draw when a 10-8 round for Grasso led to a 47-47 scorecard, which nullified 48-47 scores for both fighters, allowing Grasso to remain champion an unusual ending to a UFC title fight.
Here’s what fighters had to say about Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko 2.
Fair draw. Valentina unlucky for sure but a draw is fair in my opinion, run it back. Viva Mexico!
