• Prediction: Alexa Grasso via unanimous decision
• When: UFC 306 on September 14

The third fight between flyweight champion Alexa Grasso and her rival Valentina Shevchenko will go down in the co-main event at the Sphere.

I’m not a big fan of UFC’s love for rematches and trilogies, but since Grasso got the win via a debated decision in their last bout, this fight actually makes sense.

In the first fight, Grasso had a great game plan and capitalized on Shevchenko’s mistake. In the second fight it was more obvious how evenly matched the two flyweights are.

I have a feeling that the third and final fight will be just as tight as the last one. This is hard to predict, but my money will be on Grasso. I think it’s her time right now!
