COSTA MESA, Calif. -- It's not often a champion accuses a challenger of ducking. That seems to be the case here, though.
Livia Renata Souza, Invicta FC's strawweight champion, said she was supposed to fight Alexa Grasso twice over the last four months and it hasn't come together. Grasso has been injured, but Souza is not really sure she buys it.
"Alexa is a big opponent, a talented opponent," Souza said. "But everybody knows she's running away from me two times. Two times [an] injury? Man, it's a joke. She can run, but she can't hide for the rest of her life.
