The ‘Bullet’ attempted a flying kick but missed. She was knocked out and had to ‘pick up’ after Mexican Alexa Grasso’s jiu-jitsu key.
Valentina Shevchenko’s reign is over. The “Bula” went to Mexico’s Alexa Grasso, who was crowned the new UFC division flyweight champion. This happened last Saturday March 4th at the T-Mobile Arena, when the Peruvian nationalized Kyrgyz ventured with a flying kick. Something that was taken advantage of by her rival who hung up the phone and eventually accused her of keeping the belt.
“The most important thing is that I won my fight and took the belt with me,” were the first words of an emotional Alexa Grasso. Likewise, the fighter was proud of what her compatriots are doing in the UFC. “It was a matter of time and we are demonstrating it,” he said at a press conference.
