Sure, both Grasso and Araujo are highly ranked fighters, but in a division where almost every contender is far behind the dominant champion Valentina Shevchenko. Furthermore, neither fighter is that big of a name – especially Araujo – and it’s hard to see anyone of them being a real threat to the champ.

The flyweights are also ranked No. 5 and No. 6, so the outcome of the fight won’t really affect the rankings either. The fight simply lakes stakes and doesn’t feel like the level of main events that we’re used to, even for a UFC Fight Night at the Apex.

Many fans has expressed their dissatisfaction online leading up to this weekend’s event, claiming this to be one of the worst main events in recent time. On paper, it’s hard to argue against that sentiment.
