Alexa Grasso snaps back at Valentina Shevchenko during Noche UFC athlete panel

Alexa Grasso took a dig at Valentina Shevchenko’s status as a 17-time Muay Thai world champion.

Both women appeared as part of an athlete panel ahead of their highly anticipated scrap on Saturday night at Noche UFC. Grasso and Shevchenko will headline the evening’s festivities, running back their UFC 285 clash that saw Grasso score a massive upset via a fourth-round rear-naked choke submission.

Speaking about her strategy going into the sequel bout, Alexa Grasso revealed that her goal would be to keep the fight standing and strike despite her last victory coming on the canvas.
