That is demonstrably false. The judges gave Grasso Rd 1. They scored 2 and 3 for Shevchenko. During Round 2, Round 3, and Round 4 (up until the finish) Shevchenko was clearly dominating the fight. That's just a fact. However, Grasso is correct when she states 2-2 because if Round 4 were scored, it would be her round because she finished Shevchenko.

[@thegameisthatdamngood]

From what I’ve seen Grasso isn’t really better than Valentina, but she’s really good. Alexa is much younger and mother time is catching up with Shevchenko. Hi still believe Valentina has what it takes to become champion again and retain. But, she’s going to have to work even harder as she isn’t getting any younger. Even if Grasso wins a trilogy fight, I don’t see her retaining the belt for like Valentina did. She doesn’t have that kind of experience in the sport. We shall see. Regardless, it’s time for round 3!

[@TonyJBroni]

No dog in this fight, and I'm not sure if this is overconfidence or denial, but Valentina did not win all rounds. The scorecards literally proved that. The momentum was clearly shifting before that finish. The takedowns got harder, and holding down Alexa was getting even harder than that. Alexa was in her face with a full tank of gas before the 5th started. I would almost feel better for Valentina's chances if she actually made excuses, like an injury affecting her cardio.

Arrogance grows best on the dunghill of ignorance. Valentina

[@thegameisthatdamngood]

Valentina has no filter! I love it. Lol. She’s not wrong. But… that title fight didn’t go as planned. It’s time for a trilogy fight to settle unfinished business

[@josegarza7719]

No trilogy val has failed to finish ag twice now. Grasso vs Erin

[@teegees]

“Ze POWER. Aye Hiezit.” - Valentina

[@WasifulFahim]

Love when it got heated 2:34

[@MmaSmarty87]

and the look on Val's face at 5:55 Priceless!

[@fluxternangolo3287]

It's not gonna be a walk in the park for Bullet but I think she takes the gold.

[@johnsurf509]

Alexa was cracking Valentina ,good point!!That's why Valentina went to grappeling!!Becaues she couldent strike with Grasso, Grasso was down to bang it out, Valentina went another route!!Go get um Grasso!!

[@StevenPolanco-yp3yc]

89 to 59 significant strikes advantage for Valentina you was definitely drunk 😂😂😂

[@DarkAK2]

Huge valentina fan but I feel like he has a bunch of yes men around her who wont tell her how she really did in the first fight

[@mikekron6968]

I liked Valentina & I thought she had more class than she is showing. Try a bit of humility for a full second..

[@allpraisewebb1142]

Valentina is about to smoke this girl 🤦🏽‍♂️

[@Razear]

Valentina was winning, but it's never a good sign when a former champ can't acknowledge their opponent was better that night...

[@kevinnelzin1884]

She got her back from a big mistake besides that Valentina was beating her

[@matiascontreras8677]

​@@kevinnelzin1884at this level there is no mistakes

[@BBRT24]

Was…😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@willejones1918]

MMA success either changed Val or it brought out the real her... a very arrogant, and kinda disrespectful, fighter. Go Alexa!

[@dave93x]

I actually didn't know this fight was happening this weekend. I thought it was a month or two away, total brainfart I guess.

[@lowlowseesee]

Nah it’s marketing. This is the rare championship fight that’s not on ppv.

[@BAGPULAINTAT]

No bro u are just a casual it's OK

[@dave93x]

@@BAGPULAINTAT I'm not but glad you got a release of some sort by posting that
