LAS VEGAS – Alexa Grasso wants one more before going for gold.
The UFC women’s flyweight contender hopes to get another main event contest in preparation for a potential title shot against champion Valentina Shevchenko. Grasso (15-3 MMA, 7-3 UFC) on Saturday took a unanimous decision from Viviane Araujo (11-3 MMA, 5-2 UFC) in the main event of UFC Fight Night 212 at the UFC Apex. It was Grasso’s first UFC main event and first five-round fight.
The victory put Grasso on a 4-0 run since she moved up to 125 pounds. Grasso knows a title shot may come, but she’d rather get one more test before getting into a title fight.
