As the highly anticipated flyweight title rematch between reigning champion Alexa Grasso and former champ Valentina Shevchenko is getting closer, the tension between the two starts to rise.

At the Noche UFC media scrum, the former champion gave her opinion on their last fight, claiming that she was way ahead on the scorecards until she got stopped in the fourth.

“Watching the fight back, I would say I was winning all the fight from first to the third round, except the last moment of the fourth round,” Shevchenko said.

“Right now, I’m a person who’s motivated to get rid of that feeling back then in March. I’m determined on what I have to do this Saturday. That’s my mindset. I don’t watch back. Everything I had to take from the fight I took. Now it’s strong energy, positive energy, no mercy. Go to the end.”

Alexa Grasso: ”There are no accidents”

The Mexican champion Alexa Grasso thinks Shevchenko is dead wrong, instead claiming that the late submission was a calculated move.

“It just kind of surprised me because someone with such big experience and competing at such high level, we know that there are no accidents,” Grasso said. “I trained for that moment. You can see the video that I have before the fight. I was training that exact same position. It was something that I trained to win that fight.”
