“We are going to try to kill each other” – Alexa Grasso Ready for Valentina Shevchenko Trilogy

Alexa Grasso and Valentina Shevchenko have a complicated relationship.

After fighting twice in 2023, the current and former flyweight world champion will co-headline UFC 306 on September 14 inside Sphere in Las Vegas. In the months leading up to their anticipated trilogy bout, Grasso and ‘Bullet’ served as opposing coaches on the latest season of The Ultimate Fighter.
