Alexa Grasso Moving Up to 125lbs

[Violent Violin]

Cuz this is what the average burrrito eater looks like.

I'd eat her burrito

 

[julmma]

She's hardly tiny. In the last couple of years she has gotten jacked AF.

This! She’s one of the tallest SW, besides her getting jacked

 

[Derbemag]

Who is better than she on flyweight? Nobody. Schevchenko v. Grasso could be a great five round fight.

 

[swarrrm]

So a thiccer grasso?

Might as well go to 135 imo.

 

[Skarr]

has anything been said as to why she missed weight by so much?

 

[Sansnom]

After an embarrassment like that, respect for her decision.

I mean, when your job is to show up 2-3 times a year and you miss the mark by over 5 pounds there's a serious problem.

There aren't really any wrestlers or strikers with big power though. I think she would be faster than most of them and , just look at the top 10. Chookagian is ranked 1st, and I think Grasso matches up well with her. Maycee Barber would be tough, but she is 8th for now.

It's all fun & games for until Antonina Shevchenko works her way up the rankings.
She doesn't have huge power, but she's skilled enough to turn anyone other than her sister into a panic wrestler.

If what you are saying is true, then that is part of her lack of discipline and/or knowledge. If you are struggling to make 115, then why get "jacked AF" if you are planning to continue in that same division.

Women already have less water to cut and their hormone cycle are more regular than men. Consequently, women really need to have all their i and t's dotted and crossed when it comes to their weights.

All fighters, but especially women due to their physiology, should take the CSAC's recommendation and keep their out of competition weight at 10% higher than their competition weight.

For example, Alexa can fight at 115 if she keeps her weight at 125 to 130. I don't know this for a fact, but she probably tried to cut from 135 or 140.

NSAC decision. Both women were willing to fight.

Good for the NSAC (probably the first time i've actually praised an athletic commission).

Missing by 5.5lbs at the lightest division is an absolute joke, no way the commission or UFC should let things "go on as normal"

No, she hasn't.

She very recently lost to Roxanne Modafferi. Alexa Grasso has a good shot against her.

More like Dana told her she is a flyweight now.

She can turn anyone into a panic wrestler and from their Antonina gets her ass controlled for the majority of the fight.

Antonina isn't as well rounded or complete like Valentina and it isn't even close.

If Antonina is vsing a JiuJitsu or Grappler, bet on them because Antonina has 0 ground game, let alone strong TDD.

alexa_grasso:
I want to apologize to Claudia Gadelha and the UFC
I know this is a fight all were waiting a lot, including me. I trained very much for this and I did everything to lose those pounds.
The commission did not allow our combat although my opponent and I agreed with the sanction this implied for me. The doctors did not allow me to compete.
You don’t know how difficult it has been lately to keep me in this weigh class. It was not a lack of discipline because even if I do not have a fight I’m ALWAYS on diet.
I turned 26 and my body is not the same, I am growing and I am in this biological process where my metabolism is changing.
I have lived in recent years to the limit of what a body needs to be healthy, and yet I have always fulfilled my obligations.
Let's not talk about a flu or if my period is crossed because that added to the diet had made the weigh cuts a real suffering.
I never complain or tell these things because I am not that kind of person and I always show you my best attitude.
My team and I have decided that the smartest and healthiest thing to do is to be in other weigh class.
With all the respect that it deserves and of course pain in my heart I say goodbye to the strawweight division 115 LB
This year has a different goal for me and I officially move to Flyweight 125 LB
I know that at this weight I will be healthier and stronger giving my body all the nutrients it needs.
Thanks to all the people who support me, my Lobo team and my coaches who are with me every day and know that what I do is completely a commitment to my sport and my career.
I start a new stage in my life!

 

[Violent Violin]

Seems like she is not ducking it or anything, props

 

[Ares Black]

No, she hasn't.

 

[Klaavical]

good. this is exactly what should happen when someone badly misses weight twice.

 

[Furious77]

Antonia is overatted imo. Overatted might be the wrong word, I don't see her ever winning a belt.

According to the experts you burn between 100-300 calories in a sex session...girl needs to get busy.

For Double Jeopardy: Men burn 30% more than women, when doing the nasty.

That's a lot to burn in 2 minutes
