Grasso Noncommittal Regarding Shevchenko Trilogy: ‘I Don’t Like to Stop the Division’

Alexa Grasso knows what it’s like to be on the outside looking in as a title hopeful.

So while her rematch with Valentina Shevchenko didn’t bring any closure to their rivalry, Grasso didn’t seem especially excited jumping right back into a trilogy with “Bullet” in her next Octagon appearance.

“It’s an interesting question,” Grasso said at the UFC Fight Night 227 post-fight press conference. “I don’t like to stop the division. There’s a lot of girls fighting to have this opportunity like I did, so I don’t like to stop it.”

If the promotion wants Grasso to run it back with Shevchenko immediately, she won’t offer serious resistance.
