UFC Fight Night: Grasso vs. Shevchenko 2 (Final results)
Final result of the UFC Fight Night event card: Alexa Grasso vs. Valentina Shevchenko 2:
The Kyrgyz woman who represents Peru in the UFC affirms that she is not going through a stage of decline when asked by reporters in the run-up to the fight against Alexa Grasso:
“I don’t answer with my words,” she said. “I respond with my actions. If you saw my training, you’d say, ‘Oh yeah, it’s nothing. She’s still the same old Valentina. She’s not even close to a decline.’ People who say this are super wrong. “Maybe they judge because if they were in this situation, they felt like they were on the decline. But I can tell anyone, if you think I’m on the decline, look at my training and it will change your mind.”
Shevchenko is the favorite to win the UFC Fight Night 227 bout, but this time she is a more reasonable pick -170. Grasso is +140.
