The Ultimate Fighting Championship flyweight championship will be on the line in the UFC Fight Night 227 main event.
The five-round main event is now set after the UFC Fight Night 227, also known as "Noche UFC," weigh-ins took place. Champion Alexa Grasso will look to make her first defense against the woman she dethroned, Valentina Shevchenko. Both women successfully made weight, as Grasso came in at 124.5 pounds, while Shevchenko also weighed 124.5 pounds. All of the rest of the fighters on the card also hit their marks.
Mexico's Grasso (16-3) is coming off arguably the biggest upset of the year and one of the largest in company history when she stopped Shevchenko in March.
