Grasso snook in an all time great line, hope someone caught that...... "Most people don't believe in themselves. Why would they believe in me?"

Mexican style is literally being a punching bag because they're so devoid of skill, all they know how to do is take a punch to try to give one, and they usually take 5 for every one they give. They can do it because their skulls are empty so there's nothing inside to take blunt force trauma. That's why their country is third world. They're a bunch of ret*.

Será mesmo um grande desafio enfrentar a Valentina que é muito versátil e ataca com fúria. Todavia, A Grasso tem excelente boxe e se dá bem no chão. Se a Grasso escapar das garras da campeã e enfrentá-la com muita determinação, impondo respeito e desenvolvendo seu melhor boxe, a ponto de fazer Valentina recuar ante os vários socos na cara, creio que Alexa poderá, sim, ser a mais nova campeã peso mosca. A mexicana é muito casca grossa e será difícil para a Valentina.

Alexa cannot sit back and wait for Valentina to get her shots off. Because Valentina will pick her apart. She has to fight her toe to toe. Although it’s a high risk, it’s also a high reward. Valentina is used to being the aggressor. Because the women that fight her are immediately scared once they see her striking up close and personal. If Alexa fight her toe to toe I think it will throw Valentina off just a tad. Who knows. We’re all speculating right now. We will all see come Saturday.

Its not gonna be a striking fight. Grasso has a clear weakness. Her ground game. Valentina will 100% take advantage of that. Grasso is also pretty small and could fight at 115. Valentina is gonna dominate this fight im afraid
I like and routing for ALEXA, she has that Mexican grit and heart, but I don’t think thats enough. V is a beast and has the experience and technical MMA credentials to get the win. Valentina vs Nunez…. V needs to get that rematch! That would be a great fight!

I think Alexa's boxing is better than Manon but Manon is stronger. Her grappling has gradually improved. Alexa must be careful with her forever high guard because Valentina has relentless kicks & her legs are her foundation for her stunning striking. If Alexa is able to defend from the bear hug, I see Alexa strives her way through to the final round
