Valentina Shevchenko at the press conference
That's the way this sport is. You can win all the rounds and then stupidly lose. I believe our second fight will have a different result. It's a telling moment - you have to train harder to win. I want an immediate rematch, because I know that I was winning that fight.
Shevchenko vs. Grasso fight took place at UFC 285, which was held on March 5 in Las Vegas (USA). The fight ended in the fourth round in favor of Grasso: Alexa won by a choking submission.
Shevchenko competed at UFC 275 in June 2022 against Taila Santos of Brazil. That fight lasted the entire distance and ended in Valentina's favor by a split decision of the judges. She has 23 wins and four losses on her record.
