UFC flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and former titleholder Valentina Shevchenko squared off on the basketball court ahead of their Octagon trilogy.
Grasso and Shevchenko, who are scheduled to meet for the third time at UFC 306 next month, battled as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 32. The season has featured plenty of exciting moments, prospects, and drama in and out of the cage.
UFC CEO Dana White often refers to the season-to-season tradition ‘Coaches Challenge’ as his favorite part of the show. Grasso and Shevchenko competed in a sport neither is familiar with for a significant payout to themselves and their team’s fighters.
