Alexa Grasso vs "Fire Fist" Ji Yeon Kim at Flyweight August 29 2020 Las Vegas

[Iron Nick]

That was indeed the fight where that happened. A gif of it has been posted in this thread.

Thanks, scrolled up and just saw it after seeing your response, makes me smile every time!

I like Kim a lot, so I'll root for her, but I expect grasso to be able to outpoint her. It should be a fun fight.

Also, everyone is drooling over Grasso in here, but Kim is cute.

The only person whose opinion counts...

 

[Tapatio]

Can't wait to see the Grasso loss face after this one. So cute!

 

[Gio]

Hope this turned to be a great fight. Rooting for Alexa. I just wanna see her winning.

Alexa Grasso moves up to flyweight to fight "Fire Fist" Kim. Grasso's move up to flyweight follows her missing weight for a match scheduled with Claudia Gadelha, which was then cancelled.

Grasso in Italian means "fat". Coincidence? I think not

 

[DHT Derivative]

Of course I will pick the Korean fighter. North Korea is like the fire nation from avatar.

 

[Furious77]

Wait, why is Alexa a -320 favorite? That seems pretty lopsided for a fighter who has been trading wins and losses.

Probably cause it won't be much grappling. Grasso looks pretty dam good when she's not worried about takedowns.

Kim's 2nd round TKO of Kassem at UFC 243.

Smart shot rather than a headshot.

I didn't realize Kim had a six inch reach advantage. Unfortunately she doesn't really know how to use it

 

[Migdagen]

Just hoping this will end in the north/south position... ({})

Kim via TKO

 

[Better Every Day]

Kim via TKO

If so, it'll be the first time Grasso has lost by TKO.
Grasso has only been finished once: a rear-naked choke submission by Tatiana Suarez (called by some "the female Khabib").

Thats just my opinion. First time for everything, especially when moving up in weight against bigger stronger fighters

 

[NoSmilez]

Kim isn't scared to get hit. She is more of a bjj person who is forced to bang because her take downs aren't there
