There goes Maycee Barber's dream of making UFC history. Alexa Grasso, meanwhile, has designs on making history herself.
Grasso was the sharper fighter in both the striking exchanges and the grappling, whether on the canvas or in standing clinches against the cage, and she earned a unanimous decision victory in the co-main event of UFC 258 on Saturday night in Las Vegas.
It was the second straight defeat for Barber, a 22-year-old Californian who had proclaimed early in her career that her goal was to become the youngest UFC champion ever, a distinction currently owned by Jon Jones.
