On International Women’s Day, UFC CEO, Dana White has confirmed how undisputed flyweight champion, Alexa Grasso, and former division champion, Valentina Shevchenko will serve as opposing coaches on The Ultimate Fighter 32 this year, which is set for a premiere on ESPN later this summer.
Grasso, the current undisputed flyweight champion and current pound-for-pound number one fighter on the promotion’s books, has been sidelined since she retained her crown in a split decision draw against the aforenoted, Shevchenko in the pair’s Noche UFC rematch back in September of last year.
The result came off the back of a shocking upset win for Mexican favorite, Grasso, who submitted dominant gold holder, Shevchenko in the co-main event of UFC 285 last March, crowning herself as the undisputed flyweight champion and snapping the former’s dominant roughshod run through the division.
