There will be a 3rd fight. If I am to score it Shevchenko seems to have made it especially because she caused Grasso's cut and made a significant heavy blow. By discounting the knees made by Grasso while Shevchenko's hand touches the ground, it would appear Chenko won the fight.

There is no way the 5th could be 10-8 but I guess they consider giving the favor to Grasso after all it is Mexico's independence day so let it be settled in the 3rd match.   
They were right about the fight, it's the most exciting yet.

Ahaha who doesn't love these cats? One's smile and the other's dance are impressive. Also, the match I watched today was one of the most enjoyable matches I have watched in a long time. I was quite surprised that the match ended in a draw. If Shevchenko had not lost his back in the last moments, I think Mosso could have won with the referee's decision. In any case, the matches between these two were going to go to the trilogy, no problem, I was not disturbed by the decision taken. Two truly noble souls fought a beautiful battle in the Mexican night. Neither of them ever thought of giving up.

I very much agree and also like Valentina Shevchenko's argument, this draw was given to her because it was a special Mexican holiday. They do not want to disappoint the Mexican fans hehehe. Also, how powerful is the Mexican cartel in Las Vegas?

I would agree on the split decision, however, it should be a split decision for Shevchenko. The corruption appears to be starting in the UFC also.

The judging was shady and there should be some sort of investigation into how they scored the bout as there is no way Alexa Grasso is winning the 5th round 10 - 8 and if not for that stupid judging decision Valentina Shevchenko would have retained the title. Now the UFC needs to reschedule the fight once again as it was a really close fight and i was surprised with the striking of Alexa Grasso and overall it is one of the best fights in Women MMA.

Strickland has quite a strong defense and some people say that Strickland has an advantage in defending against punches making it difficult for Adesanya to knock him down but Adesanya fans don't believe it and think it all just bullshit because they want Adesanya to win too much.
At the start of the fight Adesanya still looked stable in his attacks even though he fell in the first round in the final seconds but he managed to get up and was saved by the sound of the bell.

I'm sure Adesanya will definitely come back and be ready to win the title that from Strickland.
But by the way if Adesanya is willing to not fight for at least 1 year and train hard to improve his physique and improve his fighting style maybe moving up to a higher class would be very interesting.

Valentina Shevchenko                 Alexa Grasso
Fight style: Muay Thai                Fighting style: Mexican boxing
Vital stastics: 34-24-36              Vital statistics: 34-23-24
Special move: Flamenco dance    Special move: Cute smile



My prediction, this will be a difficult split decision victory for Valentina Shevchenko and uncle Dana will approve an immediate trilogy, I reckon. He also likes the sexy fighting kittens hehehehee.

Surely all those dramas and hardship still remains with him he is still the Israel Adesanya people known and love for sure he will come the 2nd time good as well but that journey was cut short by an unexpected man who only uses basic boxing for their fight for sure there is an option for Izzy in that octagon but I was wondering why he didn't take it as to stop that he needs to take down Sean Strickland but he never made even just 1 bit of a takedown for this fight and for me it look like his signature ego in striking was also hurt when he can not take down the defense of Strickland,

 I was really confused about the result surely Shevchenko also did a great job in getting those takedowns and those heavy hits she even got 1 round for herself but I am not really an expert in analyzing the fight but for sure it was really a close one and they say that Mike Bell had a controversial judging because he gave a 10 - 8  score on the 5th round for Alexa Grasso but if he gives a 10 - 9 score the championship belt will definitely go to Valentina Shevchenko for sure Shevchenko will have another complaint about the result and she should have won the fight but for sure that sparring with guys are real for Shevchenko  because she got a pretty muscular physique right now,

Do you still remember the first Adesanya vs Blachowiz and Perreire fight? Adesanya is a pure striker who was born into the world of stand-up fighting. Against Blachowiz he had difficulty defending against Takedowns which resulted in his dream of becoming a double champion to fail. Then in the fight against Perreire where the two of them showed a bottom level fight. I'm not saying they're not great fighters. However, there we can see that Adesanye has not really been able to master the ground game such as takedown and takedown defense.

Adesanya's journey in the UFC has been like a Roller Coaster. Emerged as a fighter who is considered to have the highest fight IQ in striking in the UFC today. Won the title from Whittaker, broke Borrachinha's undefeated record, once crushed his entire division, then moved up to LHW to fight for the Double Champ title but was unsuccessful, beat Whittaker and Vettori 2 times, faced an old rival who became his nightmare and lost the title, then succeeded take it back. I think this will shape the mentality of a champion from Adesanya and it won't take long for Izzy to return to being king in this middle class

Valentina Shevchenko will be really careful in her rematch as she was really winning the fight when they fought the first time until that kick she threw and Alexa Grasso was waiting for that mistake so that she could take advantage of the situation where she might have drilled a thousand times. I expect the fight to go the distance as both the fighters will be cautious but expecting Valentina Shevchenko to regain her belt.

After reading alot of opinions on reddit and twitter , for me the best plays for grasso vs shevchenko is

Fight to go the distance @  1.69 (nice) odds  

and a little sprinkle on Grasso by submission @ 6.2 odds

alot more inclined towards FTGD bet as it should hit

I see that there are a lot of women's fights, Tracy Cortez is 29 years old and was born in Phoenix, Arizona, United States. She started her professional career in 2017, she has had 6 years of professional career and in those 6 years of her professional career she had 11 fights of which she won 10 fights, in other words, Tracy Cortez only lost once in her entire professional career, she won the Melissa Gatto at UFC 274. On the other side of this fight we have Jasmine Jasudavicius who is 34 years old and was born in St. Catharines, Ontario, Canada. She has 4 years of professional career and in these 4 years of professional career she had 11 fights of which she won in 9 fights and lost in only 2 fights. She achieved 6 victories by decision, 1 by submission and 2 by knockout. In my opinion, she will win this fight

Lupita Godínez who is 30 years old and was born in Aguascalientes, Mexico. She has 5 years of professional career, in these 5 years of professional career she had 13 fights of which she won 10 fights and lost 3 fights. Lupita Godínez beat Emily Ducote at UFC Fight Night 223 and then at UFC 287 she beat Cynthia Calvillo. On the other side we have your opponent in this fight, Elise Reed, who is also 30 years old and was born in Sacramento, California, United States. She has 4 years of professional career in which she had 10 fights of which she won 7 fights and lost in 3 fights, at UFC 284 she lost in the fight against Konklak Suphisara. In my opinion, Lupita Godínez would win this fight

Alexa Grasso is 30 years old and was born in Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico. She has been a professional fighter for 11 years, and in those 11 years as a professional fighter she had 19 fights of which she won 16 fights and only lost 3 fights. she achieved 10 victories by decision, 4 victories by knockout, 2 victories by submission. at UFC 285 she won the fight against Valentina Shevchenkvo. And speaking of Valentina Shevchenko, she is 35 years old and was born in Bishkek, Kyrgyzstan. She has 20 years of professional career, something quite unbelievable, she is very old in the world of fights and at this age of 35, chasing revenge shouldn't be a good way, maybe it would make you think about retiring, but in recent times fighters they no longer think about retiring so early, because they have already seen that they can live by drinking a lot, living with great intensity and posting on social media and with little training and they will still be fighting and will be the center of attention because today the fights are accompanied by the big marketing. In my opinion, I see Valentina Shevchenko winning this time and regaining her belt
