Noche UFC, dubbed that since it fell on Mexican Independence Day, was headlined by a very rare title bout in the Ultimate Fighting Championship’s Fight Night series. Newly minted UFC flyweight women's champion Alexa Grasso rematched the woman she had just dethroned in March of this year, Valentina Shevchenko.
Shevchenko is, based on one's perspective, either the greatest- or second-greatest female mixed martial arts fighter ever. Despite being a very undersized bantamweight when she first joined the UFC, Shevchenko immediately distinguished herself as an elite talent, dominating a prime Holly Holm and armbarring future bantamweight champion Julianna Pena in the second round.
