- 🏆Alexa Grasso
(16-3) def. (Former Champ) Valentina Shevchenko 
(23-4) (Submission, RNC, RD 4) Flyweight (125lbs) Championship bout
Alexa Grasso has become the new and flyweight champion and first female Mexican champion dethroning Valentina Shevchenko, who was the longest reigning champion in the ufc. Shevchenko has defended her belt 7 times before Alexa defeated her by rear-naked-choke.
If Valentina won, she would have been the first fighter to fill up all 8 rubys (each ruby signifying a title defense) on her UFC belt, receiving a new one.
ALEXA GRASSO HAS SUBMITTED VALENTINA SHEVCHENKO!!
