In the UFC 258 co-main event, the women’s flyweight division was on notice. Number 10 ranked Maycee Barber took on number 15 ranked Alexa Grasso.
Alexa Grasso vs. Maycee Barber
A straight striker vs. grappler match-up. Grasso got the striking going early and immediately as she began landing, Barber closed the distance and looked to clinch. This was the case the entire first round, with Barber bouncing and looking to shoot, while Grasso being very patient and landing crisp strikes.
Much the same as the second stanza began. Grasso landed a beautiful combination a couple of minutes into the round and Barber immediately clinched.
