I don't understand why everyone is so surprised by Alexa Grasso's victory? She wasn't a novice when she came out to fight against Valentina. She was already an experienced fighter with a score of 15-3. And Valentina lost twice to Amanda Nunes, she was not some kind of invincible. People are so surprised, as if they have seen Alexa Grasso for the first time. I have been following her career for a long time, and I saw that she is a very promising and talented fighter. People, have you seen Alexa's previous fights? She's a super professional. Don't be surprised that she won.

Exactly and that's why I wasn't impressed when Valentina tried to take the belt from Nunes by point fighting. Holly Holm KO'd Rousey for that belt. Meisha Tate choked Holm out cold for it. Amanda Nunes beat Meisha by TKO and into retirement for the belt. Then came Valentina thinking she could get the 135 lb belt by point fighting to a decision. Wrong! If you want the belt, make it clear and go out there and get a stoppage.

Such a humble winner. Gotta love Grasso.

Could not have happened to a nicer young lady then this. She is so humble. It's nice to see. Congratulations Alexa

Great interview I like to see interviews when the interviewer is really into what they're discussing hell she was more excited then I was

Valentina has been and incredible Champion, honorable, decent & respectful of her influence on others and most of all respectful to the sport she has spent her life exceeding at the highest level. She has been a great example of what a Champion is and should be. Everyone in the fight game knew it would take another special woman to take the title from her. This did not come easy for Alexa, none of us 2 or 3 years ago would have even deemed her worthy of a shot, she put in the work and proved a lot of people wrong. She fought a smart fight last night and finally put a stop to one of the greatest reigns in MMA history. Wow that was amazing, and loved to see Brandon have a moment with her... 2 great Champions right there.

As an ex-fighter and trainer (boxing) I loved seeing Alexa using the sweet science to beat one of the best in MMA, so many fighters in MMA could up their game double if they knew how to box .. even basics would help them have an understanding they never had before, and weapons they never had before .. mentally and physically.
