Alexa Grasso Loves Pressure That Comes With Being Champion

The biggest change Alexa Grasso has felt since becoming champion is the pressure that comes with it.

Grasso became the women’s flyweight champ with a massive upset win over Valentina Shevchenko at UFC 285 in March 2023. The Mexican champ went on to retain her strap with a slightly controversial split draw in a rematch against Shevchenko at Noche UFC in September 2023. Grasso is now set to put her strap on the line against “Bullet” in a trilogy clash in the co-main event at UFC 306 this weekend at the Sphere in Las Vegas.
