The way she speaks you can see that she's a smart woman. She is so humble and answers each question with sincerity and not repetition. All the best!!!

[@24-7traumacleaningandbiore3]

seems dumber than a box of rocks but i reckon you probably are too

[@nalakirkwood4425]

Alexa is so humble and honest. Her integrity and lack of ego is something beautiful to behold🙏❤️

[@JohnSmith-pg9ns]

I'd date her

[@ccrider3435]

Except she thinks she won the fight and isnt gonna admit she was gifted the draw by a corrupt judge. No hate for Grasso but the truth is more important than emotions.

[@miguelnava3911]

​@ccrider3435 usually when people denied being a hateful person they actually are full of HATE! Just like when people say no I am not a Racist they turned out to be the most Racist Bastards! First of all this interview was before the second fight so why bring that shit in this conversation? Besides are you pretending to be more qualified and with more experience than the official judges? WTF! STFU!

Beautiful soul,terrific fighter. She's going to pull it off again🤗.

[@technodromen]

Such a fun fight! Grasso was holding her own on the feet, Val was winning grappeling exchanges but Grasso got back up, mostly. Also felt like Val was picking up speed… and then WHAM! Subbed. Can’t WAIT for this rematch. I have zero clue who’s going to win.

Nobody does because they aren't . Mexicans are from Mayans and Aztecs and some settlers from Spain . There is just a small unrecognized tribe of Cherokee in Mexico

[@wilderfier]

the UFC is on fire right now! I thought it was odd that they were have the press conference for the next big event, but this is a fight night? Last year, this would have been a main event! It feels like we're getting huge fight nights since Sandhagen sold out that venue. Absolutely amazing sport.

[@kevinmalone584]

The next 3 weeks aren’t that good imo tho. Other than some main fights. They’re saving their fights for ufc 300

[@JosephHandibode]

huh rose moved to her weight. as for higher division. valentina ran from bantamweight crying they took big since she couldnt beat Amanda. Valentina cant beat top 5 135 fighters. she get destroyed.

[@zachupchurch5012]

​@@JosephHandibodeloser, hater

[@mrmonkeyseemonkeydo]

@@JosephHandibode She already beat Peña and Holm, both in the top 5 and former champs, Amanda couldn't finish her either, had to win by judges, she simply feels more comfortable in featherweight because it's an easier weightcut, but sure, each pseudo know it all will believe whatever they feel like.

Lol well no shit one was a champ for years and another just got it. One won and one lost.

[@m-jay356]

I have zero issues with Mexico getting a belt but I personally feel if any country should have gotten a custom belt first, it should have been Brazil. They created this whole movement and they have had champions and fighters at the very top in every decade. You can argue who gets a belt after that.

[@angelbedolla347]

I love the bullet but damn kind of over all the dominant champs. I want all ufc divisions to start moving, hope Grasso wins.
